Love so often must depend on timing.
We loved each other, but at different times.
Now, still friends, we share our hearts by smiling.
One or then the other winds up pining
As one who loved in vain another finds.
Love so often must depend on timing.
Or one moves far away, and when returning,
Discovers distance of another kind.
Now, still friends, we share our hearts by smiling,
Yet love remains like moonlight, setting, rising;
Even as a sliver, it still shines.
Love so often must depend on timing,
Two desires never quite combining,
Ever close, but never quite aligned.
Now, still friends, we share our hearts by smiling,
Doing the right thing, never crossing
Even by a hint the other's lines.
Love so often must depend on timing.
Now, still friends, we share our hearts by smiling.
