She was far more than I had expected; my vision had shown a beautiful woman gently aged in the Florida sun. If she had aged, it was not apparent to me, though I must admit my eyes were somewhat blinded by what I had hoped to see, yea even envisioned a hand extended to me. She was beautiful, charming, witty, intelligent, gracious, alas, for me, in love with another. Timing, critical In a moment, when, perhaps the door was ajar; alas, I was, too far away. And so, day by day, I sit alone, contemplating what might have been, if we had met yesterday, rather than today. Someday I guess I will face the reality of life itself "Who am I to think that someone like she would ever consider sharing her life with me?" Others have caused her pain, shed her blood, caused her mind to block the past, left her alone to face the trials of life. Some have caused me pain, not shed my blood, left behind the memories of days past. Created trials for my life, severely wounded my desire to remain on earth. A thousand miles between us lie, only the sky can the parting make a gentle time. Tonight I wonder, will this love go unheeded? Will she not realize how much its needed? Will the rising sun bring news of love returned, or will it bring sadness of love spurned? Will the days ahead speak gentle soft music whispered in my ear or will the pain of love not returned cause the excitement to fade and the fire of desire become the ashes of love unwanted? Through it all come the gentle words: "Tis better to have loved and Lost than never to have loved at all.' Love must be returned to be love, but if love is not given, It cannot be returned. |
