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
