Is this Love

A young man first notices girls in his teen’s

And with the right one she will enter his dreams

But when we crave what we see without knowing more

It is lust and not love that knocks on you door

For the outside appearance and aesthetics we see

Tells us all very little of who she may be

It’s not wrong to fall for a pretty face next door

But in time you will see that there is so much more

For the person to whom you seek to attach

Should be like you in morales your perfect match

So it is the folly of the very young lovers

To constantly fall out before seeking another

For me the first time with my workmates sister

Unrequited the feelings when she left I still missed her

From then on just dating more or less casually

I started to believe that there was no one for me

Then by chance a social meeting through a friend

This young lady seemed interested how would this end

An interest in music and shared friends indeed 

This courtship seemed what the both of us need

She lived with her family her mother’s daughter still

I was shy and alone living as a bachelor still

So in nine short months we would walk down the aisle

The start very happy we both shared a smile.

Our first child would arrive just a short time away

But already the connection beginning to fray

We lived in the house that we built together

But to separate rooms we would move a desperate endeavour 

For a bed for a couple we could not share

No sleep and no romance was ever found there

Thirty years all together to raise our son sure

But at the end it was pointless no more to endure

We divorce and moved on parting as friends

Which seemed a fitting way for this  journey to end

Now a man’s heart should not be empty for long 

And we all search for somewhere to truly belong

So through friends and referrals and surfing the web

We start conversations with single women instead 

For me I did spy with my little eye

A younger Thai lady that lived in Dubai

We soon hit it off and messages flew

Our feelings grow quickly so what would we do

The good thing there was that not pretty aesthetics we craved

For it was words truth and morales that our hearts must save

Though we exchanged many photos for an image to see

All slightly different but none mattered to me

The one thing for sure in her image a smile

That would brighten the evening for many a mile

So with this image a memory fixed in my brain

We met love was there it was hard to explain

Many months later we have moved in together 

Our love and devotion see us through the hard weather

She is not old or young she just is who she is

But in my eyes my Princess my heart in a Tis

They say love is blind for me I’m not sure

She can’t be that perfect this mother of four

Yet when I look at her what do I see

A beautiful woman and soul that loves me.
