A Distant Memory

By Bruce Clifford

She had a hard time waking up
Remembering the night when she fell in love
A love that never ran too deep
Now a distant memory

She had a hard time seeing the light
Years gone by trying to get love right
A heart that never skipped a beat
Now a distant memory

Now it seems so long ago
When the wind was in her hair
The chaos in her mind
Reaching out beyond each cloud
Beyond the point of endless doubts

She had a hard time believing the truth
Memories of missing latitudes
A kiss she thought would never fade away
Now it’s an everlasting scar of being betrayed

A love that never ran too deep
When everlasting love seems out of reach
There was once a place for you and me
Now its a distant memory
Now a distant memory

She had a hard time waking up
Not knowing if she had a chance at love
A love that runs so deep
Now a distant memory
