Season of Love

I believed you were the love of my life.
Your smile mesmerized me.
Your laughter infected my soul.
When I looked into your eyes I saw forever, and your lips made my heart melt.

In time, my love for you deepened.
I let you see the darkest parts of me.
But the spark in your eyes had faded.
My love withered at your feet like roses past their prime, no longer beautiful and sweet.

The silence in your words speaks volumes.
I feel the fire of love dying.
I have tried everything to rekindle what has been lost.
The magic that danced between us vanished under the light of the truth.

What was once a love I had never known
Now only lives in the broken pieces of my heart.
I may never understand, but, I have my memories.
That will have to be enough.
It’s time to close the chapter on this bittersweet romance.
Our season has ended.
