Life is full of all sorts of things
Like a roaring waterfall or the beautiful bird who sings

While heartbreak, misunderstandings, and pain abound among everyone
Happiness, joy, and contentment find few
and from others it always seems to run

Are we doomed to repeat this in an endless loop
Or will you be able to find solidarity within a like minded group

Life does give but even more so often it takes
A whirlwind of destruction and desperation it leaves in its wake

Everyday brings something new to be earned
Like a new way of thinking after a lesson has been scornfully and tearfully learned

Life goes on and on while never to slow down
While some are gone and forgotten over time others are left forever in renown

It brings past regrets never to forget mistakes that have been made
Even with the best of intentions and plans that are so carefully laid

Its all up to you and me to build this life to what it can be
Will you be able to unlock the limitless doors that await with the right key

Life goes by so fast and fades so quickly as we all know
Make life how you want it to be and make it count for all the world to show

Days flew by as I wondered through life so careless and able

Until that night I was lucky enough to sit with you at that middle table

I never realized what I was missing and why in my heart there was a space

Suddenly that all changed and I realized it once I saw your beautiful smiling face

I fell for you so hard and fast and I knew what I felt must be love

It was like my heart felt warm and whole as if it was wearing a glove

Something awoke in me right then and there that in so long I hadnt felt

It likens to the sensation of a heart being melt

Even with the all the lights and food and the boys

Your all I could see and hear despite all the noise

That forgotten feeling that I let in and to allow

Its all too familiar even as I look at your incredibly pretty picture now

Words can't describe how I truly feel about you

So I write this poem in hopes it will see me through

You are the light and a spark in my world often void and dark

A beacon of hope and a ship to better days that I wish to embark

Your warmth, kindness, and sincerity bring a smile to my face

I want that in my life every day and night to never replace

Your all I wanted and I honestly still feel that way

Your past or any situation won't change that no matter what people say

Love, excitment, and happiness was all I felt when we first spoke

Then a decision had to be made for the best which left my heart unbearably broke

I'm unable to describe what I feel even now

Its like a feeling of deep loss and sorrow and yet I have to push through life anyhow

You did all you could and for that I'll always be grateful

Don't ever feel like I blame you or that I am hateful

I do hate what happened and it didn't have to be that way

I guess things happen for a reason as some people would say

I would do anything to be able to reverse space and time

No matter the cost of the dime or the mountain I had to climb

I would wrap you in my arms and hold on so tight

With all that is in me I would make sure that everything was alright

Even with the occasional argument and the hopefully rare fight

What I felt for you and my love would remain unchanged and airtight

Our lives are separate and completely different right now as life has designed

My hope is that sooner than later our lives can become entirely intertwined

Now after all this what's there left to say

Just how I feel everyday that I pray somehow we will be together one day
