Love

LOVE

Today I love,
yesterday I loved,
tomorrow I shall love.
The moment I saw her I knew
I had to be near her.
The second our hearts met, fate
whispered in my ear, it said ...
"Be patient, all good things come
to those who wait!"

But, I could not wait. I grew
more impatient with each look of
my eyes from across the room.
I gave up, at least this is what
I told myself knowing in the back
of my mind I still want her
to be mine!

Still thinking with each breath
I take . . . "I have to get her!"
Not yet recognized but, in the end
she will be mine! But somehow a
falsehood built itself up in my
mind, one that told me being perfect
on the outside meant being perfect
on the inside. Living a perfect life
in a perfect world.

But, now I see indeed, a perfect
dream. And I can wish for all that
I want. But, soon, as always, the reality
of life comes crashing in again. And
all my dreams are shattered.

But hope is still alive and the
hope still burns eternally in my
everloving heart.
