Un-requited Love

Why do you sit and search your soul

Recalling events that have passed

When you lived each day without a care

How long would your happiness last

The future was there on the horizon

The world was your oyster it would seem

Then a special someone entered your life

Could this be the answer to your dream

Each single day a joy to behold

To enjoy each day as it came

Forgetting events that had now  passed

Your life may never be the same

Could you really live on love alone

You were willing to give it a try

For each time this person entered your thoughts

It brought a twinkle to your eye

You walked life’s path with a spring in your step

Romance in your heart every day

And really believing this would last forever

Would your life always stay this way

But then as so often happens

The light of love seemed to grow dim

Was the flame of your friendship about to extinguish

Could it be the fault of you or him

Trying to analyse where loves ardour had cooled

Where was the weak link in love’s chain

Could you rekindle the flames of passion

Knowing your hopes may be dashed again

For life’s road is littered with hearts that are broken

Until they are picked up again to mend

By someone who understands the pain and the torment

Who may eventually become your lifelong partner &  friend

As  you walk off into the Sunset

Hand in hand as you watch the Sun descend

Ever hopeful of a life spent together in love

It’s the way  most love stories end
