When all is said and done
with battles fought and won.
I look at you and realise
you’ve always been the one.

She heard his voice,
and knew within seconds,
they would be face to face.
She looked into his eyes, and
watched time melt away, as
she relived her fall from grace.
One of them loved the other one more.
The other hung in there, knowing the score.
Sometimes, by chance or design,
she found herself in his home town.
Treading the pavements she imagined
he still trod, she saw his face in each
passer by, his smiling eyes, his wistful sigh,
his reluctant acceptance of their goodbye.
‘What was, what if, what could have been’,
thoughts jumbled into one. Time had not
diminished her longings, nor ever her sadness
gone, but on days like these she found solace,
though sadly, closure, never.
She went to her grave still loving him,
her one true love, forever.

From tiny acorns, oak trees come to be.
A glimmer in the heart, no eye can ever see.
A love that simmers on low heat consistently,
is worth the wait of all eternity.
Although he raved
and misbehaved,
when he was drowning,
his life she saved.
To stand in the space where she stood,
when you looked into her eyes and were
misunderstood, and wondered if you
shouldn’t or should, is the agony you still
put yourself through, for the rose never
blossomed and remained a bud.
And to yearn for her after so long,
cannot do the heart any good.

Research shows there’s an outside chance,
and statistics back it up.
But you’re on your own, once you dare,
take a sip from the loving cup.
In moments of wanton lust,
she desired him like never before.
In moments of utter disgust,
she deplored her shamelessness more.

Men are always left wanting,
even when the best is waiting at home.
Women are always left wondering,
when out of sight, their men do roam.
