The Poem Of Love

a love story

When we met it was like a dream: A beautiful young lady walking up to me. With a smile we made a connection That would send us into a life long direction.

It was funny, the time we shared, Never really thought, never really cared. We were too busy being kids at heart Too busy to think wed ever be apart.

I never understood what I really had And that day came, oh was I sad. I shed many tears as I walked away Then she moved on towards her wedding day.

Week after week, month after month, year after year I wondered why it was, why was I so scared. Maybe I was too young or maybe I didn't care. What ever it was, it still haunts me after all these years.

We moved on with our lives and never really talked again But I always wondered where she had been. It's choices we make in life to do what seems right But I often wondered, should I have put up a bigger fight?

I thought I lost what I never really had Then a letter arrived from her It was a wish, a hopeless desire, Then flash -- she was walking up to me, just like a dream.

I was not alone when we finally met She was missing me just as I was missing her. A thought never unheard and feeling never missed. All of a sudden I felt pure bliss.

I never understood what we had Until that day I held her again. She's a part of my life, a part of my soul A void to fill, an answer to all my questions.

She is my everything. She is the air I breathe, the water I drink She is the love in my heart and the breath in my words She is forever a part of me.

She is a part of me because, as she reads my words She can feel what I feel and see what I see She is there always in my mind, my heart and my soul She is the love of my life that I can never let go.

Dedicated to my true love. May life from this point forward bring you never ending Love, Courage and Happiness?
