That Was The Night

That Was The Night

A Poem by mjsalyers

This is how it ends after all we proved to be .
You know I am falling in love with you and I think deep down you want me .
We never said forever was a place that we could be .
But I am ready to fight for you but you run away reluctantly .
You can still feel my breath tracing your body everywhere .
I can still feel your heart beat so soft as if I was not there .
You feel your hand in mine , you pull away when your eyes realize .
And you see I have proven I love you but , you escape with alibis .
   That was the night - That was the night .
   That was the night I should have made you mine .
   I should have lingered with 1 soft and gentle kiss and held you oh so tight .
   Should have gave you everyt drop of love's sweet sweat so you would not say  goodbye .
   That was the night - Oh that was the night .


So this is how it starts , the mourning of of a loss or end .
We came so far but not far enough and we can't go back to being friends .
'Don't care if it's not right , I must be true to how I feel .
To settle for something else would just be a fantasy I can't make real .
I still taste the tear I kissed from your eyes as you slept .
You whispered to me by another man's name , Maybe I should have run away .
But I had to give us a chance to be , rather lose than never try .
I just wish you would not have forced me into this goodbye .
   But that was the night - That was the night ,
   That was the night oh , maybe I should have said goodbye .
   But I could not help but hope to be everything you swore you saw in me .
   I can't see you as you walk away , you put me on the shelf for another day .
   But that was the night - Oh , that was the night .


Now here we are meeting in the saddest of my dreams .
Everything I made with these bare hands binding in my bursting seams .
I gave you all I had and I can't see you one last time .
So , I'll leave these things at your door and try to leave you behind .
But I will never forget the things you said nor my holding you so tight .
You ended us befor we began because , you like pushing me aside .
I wish that I could offer more than the rest of my life .
But I will always remember thenight it seemed like the angel was finally mine .
   That was the night - Oh , that was the night .
   That was the night that never should have become goodbye .
   I could not help but hope to be everything and more that you need .
   I would not have missed this if I could turn back the time that 1 brief moment that you felt like mine .
   That was the night - Oh , that was the night .
   That was the night - Oh , that was the night .
   That was the night that never should have become goodbye .
   I could not help but hope to be every cure for your misery .
   I would not have missed this if I could turn back the time that 1 brief moment  that you felt like mine .
   That was the night - Oh , that was the night .
