Time To Renew

I saw you standing there in the moonlight

Strong and warm and full of insights

I knew in my heart that I should try

You were something I could not deny

That was then and this is now

 You were more than I should allow 

Bruised and battered my heart carries on

Stronger with its own lifesong

I was shattered

I was torn

I was broken 

And reborn

Created new

From the wreckage

That was two

Moving past love

Time to renew

We opened our hearts and showed we care

Lost the thought to be aware

The loss was bitter in the end

There was no way to pretend
