Many obstacles and deterrents What Was ~ Not enough time in a day to spend together What Is ~ More clouds, possible rain, inclement weather What Was ~ You and me, an internal rhythm and rhyme. Lifelong partners in crime What Is ~ Trying to reach you, trying to connect, nearing check-out time Chorus: Verse: 2 What Was ~ The beauty of the time, incomparable and sublime What Is ~ Wasted effort, wasted time, not a victimless-crime What Was ~ Too near to feel, slowly becoming far and distant What Is ~ It’s all part of the goodbye, farewell, and the nonexistent What Was ~ Caring and honest emotion What Is ~ Day to day drama - all in slow-motion What Was ~ The smiles and laughter filled the air What Is ~ No laughter, much sorrow and dark despair What Was ~ Discussed our lives from the important to the minute What Is ~ Too much of the same, too boring, too dull… it’s all moot Chorus: Chorus: What Was ~ Abundant love, it’s all about us and about tomorrow What Is ~ Never mind us – Can’t take the pain, Can’t take the sorrow What Was ~ More hellos than goodbyes What Is ~ More goodbyes than hellos What Was ~ A constant stride, a constant pace, performed with elegance and grace What Is ~ Trying to escape , trying to replace, trying to forget the look, the face What Was ~ An internal rhythm, an internal rhyme. Partners in crime What Is ~ Trying to reach you, trying to connect, it’s nearing check-out time What Was ~ Love is forever, love is for all time What Is ~ Always a victim, always a crime What Was ~ Endless love, no time limit, no boundaries, just love that’s pure and true What Is ~ Love that is tattered and torn. Impossible to identify, a different look, a different feel a different hue What Was ~ What Is

Verse: 1

What Was ~ Once is no more
What Is ~ Dreams and hopes no longer explored

What Was ~ Visions of the many promised tomorrows
What Is ~ Causes one to think of the time we borrowed

What Was ~ Broken is the link between me and you
What Is ~ We think of what is, and how to start anew

What Was ~ The tide of our love creating many ripples and currents
What Is ~ The water dark and still. Many obstacles and deterrents

What Was ~ Not enough time in a day to spend together
What Is ~ More clouds, possible rain, inclement weather

What Was ~ You and me, an internal rhythm and rhyme. Lifelong partners in crime
What Is ~ Trying to reach you, trying to connect, nearing check-out time

Chorus:

Verse: 2

What Was ~ The beauty of the time, incomparable and sublime
What Is ~ Wasted effort, wasted time, not a victimless-crime

What Was ~ Too near to feel, slowly becoming far and distant
What Is ~ It’s all part of the goodbye, farewell, and the nonexistent

What Was ~ Caring and honest emotion
What Is ~ Day to day drama - all in slow-motion

What Was ~ The smiles and laughter filled the air
What Is ~ No laughter, much sorrow and dark despair

What Was ~ Discussed our lives from the important to the minute
What Is ~ Too much of the same, too boring, too dull… it’s all moot
Chorus:

Chorus:

What Was ~ Abundant love, it’s all about us and about tomorrow
What Is ~ Never mind us – Can’t take the pain, Can’t take the sorrow

What Was ~ More hellos than goodbyes
What Is ~ More goodbyes than hellos

What Was ~ A constant stride, a constant pace, performed with elegance and grace
What Is ~ Trying to escape , trying to replace, trying to forget the look, the face

What Was ~ An internal rhythm, an internal rhyme. Partners in crime
What Is ~ Trying to reach you, trying to connect, it’s nearing check-out time

What Was ~ Love is forever, love is for all time
What Is ~ Always a victim, always a crime

What Was ~ Endless love, no time limit, no boundaries, just love that’s pure and true
What Is ~ Love that is tattered and torn. Impossible to identify, a different look,
a different feel
a different hue

I won't lie... it took me awhile to compose, so I'm glad you all enjoyed. Maybe someday I'll be able to do another (as some of you have said), but I don't know... maybe it's really best only one time. We'll see. :-* to you all! /me blushes

I cannot imagine how you could think of these ideas: the way you connected various notions into one poem; the way words are flowing seamlessly. It is just magnificent. I guess all geeks will 'smell' the presence of this poem sooner or later, and will be amazed :-) I didn’t know you love geeks or even speak 1337 :-)

This is one of the most clever things I've laid eyes on in a long time. You managed to gain a new level of respect from me, while you made me laugh with this example of your unique wit. I'll be hanging to the edge of my seat, waiting for another installment. This was too good to be one of a kind. My gosh, Erin! This is one of the most clever things I’ve laid eyes on in a long time.
