Relationships may fall apart. When they do, we want to make amends for what we did.

 

But how can we do this? We cherish the thought of a new bond between . . .

 

 

You And Me

 

It was the middle of the week, the halfway point—a day to remember.

The leaves were starting to fall from the trees in mid-September.

 

I had a dream and hoped it would come true.

I had a dream and it was all about me and you.

 

I wondered why you hadn’t returned my phone call.

I needed to tell you the truth about what happened that day in the hall.

 

It wasn’t my intent to do what I did and embarrass you.

It just happened, and, yes, it was unkind and also untrue.

 

I stared out the window and thought about what my next steps should be.

Life without you was discouraging, but I had no idea how to change history.

 

What I did was wrong and I’d like to take it all back.

It is my desire to explain why and get our lives together back on track.

 

The world is not the same without your hand in mine.

I wish to see the clouds fade and again see the sun shine.

 

Will it ever happen? How can I make it be?

Will it ever happen—a future of you with me?
