Time Poem
Is love really a thing to be simply defined
I feel that those times that I thought I had it, it wasn’t truly mine
Although the first girl I felt it for looked so sweet and divine
My feelings for her went away over time
Sometimes when I see long blonde golden curly hair
My heart skips a beat and I think it is her that is there
But as I grow now I know it we had a love she no longer shares
If she had done so, by now she would have shown she had cared
She might have liked my strong spirit perhaps even my looks
Liked my command of the lessons in our history books
But when courage was what was needed I didn’t have what it took
I ran far away hiding myself just like a crook
For two years a long time ago she sat near me and her smile broke me down
She was the one popular girl who didn’t think I was some clown
She had a radiant look and such beauty but all I showed was a frown
Bad things in my life had beaten me to the ground
For such a young man I was lost in depression, anger and booze
I never had a clue what I had or what I could lose
I was in a dark gloomy cloud, but one that I didn’t choose
And all I later could do was sing out the blues
Perhaps love comes to us some set number of ways
And it often finds us lost in a haze
I wish I could have back those sad younger days
But at least I have learned though I really have aged
I now know that love can form if you give it a chance
