Wiser Hearts

 
All these years, through time gone by
Beyond our troubles, you're by my side

What we thought lost, was never gone

It is not just renewed -- No, it's not the same
Our hearts and eyes have seen much change

The first time we glanced, and looked again
there was a smirk we both had to know

Never could we have known with what pains we'd grow.

Sweet and innocence turned to vile moments
a meanness unplanned, a heartaches bemoaned.

But after such time, we learned the better
and began to grow; closer, wiser through the unknown

You know my new heart and I, yours,
we've separated from our past selves...through a Great divorce.
