Drifting Apart
by Dorine Nagy
When you love someone you feel it is carved forever in stone,
Until someday you realize something happened and you find yourself all alone.
Waiting for the phone to ring, or maybe a knock on the door.
But alas you know that it isn't coming, a ring, no knock, nothing more.
You talk to each other now and again, maybe a few minutes here a few minutes there.
But you know something is missing, the love carved in stone that you once shared.
Somehow this love just disappeared, is there someone else that they made care.
You sit and wait, wondering where could they be.
How did those feelings just fall apart, how could this happen to me?
Hoping to yourself that someday that person will see.
How they caused this carving to fade from deep in me.
What made this happen? What made this love just drift apart?
No matter how long you ponder, will you ever have a clue.
That unless you work at love - the carving does fade.
But does love really fade? In my heart I know love never really disappears,
It just leaves a scar to let you know someone once was there.
