One Word

 

She was like the most beautiful

Piece of music ever heard

On that first day I saw her

My only thought was one word

 

Love

She showed me the meaning

Not just in definition

But an eternal feeling

 

A feeling I would know

For the rest of my life

An attraction to one girl

Who would be my heart’s forever wife

 

And even though

It was not to be

The change in me had begun

The love of my life is she

 

There would never be another

To reach so deep into my heart

Sharon’s name there in my core

Never ever to depart

 

The greatest of loves

There in all the history books

Known to many romantics

To shed tearful looks

 

But love is not about tears

Though tears will surely fall

For love knows no borders

A heart cannot resist its call

 

Love may come and love may go

It may make you happy or sad

But you have to admit

Even for a brief moment you were glad

 

For me love has been

A lifetime of those brief moments

Every time I remember her smile

I’ll forever be thankful for that bestowment

 

And even if she

Was my one chance for love

My life worth every day of living

Knowing within my heart there was love

 

Saddened I’ll never be

For her smile lives as I look inward

Reminding me always of

 One word
