Joanna


Today I paused to think of you
old memories dropped on by
So bittersweet the images
I couldn’t help but cry

Joanna ever since you left
things haven’t been the same
For six months I have struggled so
and heart ache still remains

I think we  gave up far too soon
our pride got in the way
I should have never let you go
that awful rainy day

Is there a chance you feel the same
please call me if you do
I'd give up everything I have
and run to be with you

I hope this letter finds you well
and that I’ll hear from you
I need you darling in my life
please tell me we're not through

  3. L Max Hughes Joanna could never be mistaken as someone that didn't mean the world to you. For that my friend, I pray one day you see her again.
