Just a boy was I
A young boy
With no knowledge of love
But soon to own that joy
Without knowing why
I fell in love with a girl
To me, a girl beyond compare
The prettiest in the world
Her smile as Cupid’s arrow
To the core of my heart
To begin my life’s elation
Of utmost beautiful art
But soon my ultimate prize
Would move far away
Leaving me all alone
To live my life another way
Over many years
I’ve wondered why
Why she came into my life
Did I fall victim to a lie?
But a lie dissected
Under my heart’s microscope
If this love is wrong
It would have washed away with soap
I’ve always known
I’ll never see her again
So why do I hold on?
Without even a trace of pain
To love her
Till my time is up
To some an impossible dream
But I’ll not give up
To go the distance
Proving at least to myself
I fell in love with the very best
No room for anyone else
And that’s how I roll
To reach for my life’s dream
My heart’s quest for love
The impossible dream
