Note: Somebody asked me this question recently and so I answer


In Love Or Not In Love



I heard real love comes only once in a lifetime.

Perhaps I've already missed that chance,

Yet perhaps I'm still waiting

For my heart to response to another smile.



I thought I found that someone that I loved.

He was honest and kind in heart,

Yet something in my heart told me it wasn't right,

Like eating ice-cream with a knife.



Yet I went ahead and thought I was in love,

Somehow being with him I was happy.

Still I was always reminded

In values we stood on each end of the pole.



At the end I thought I didn’t deserve him, and I left.

At the end I thought I deserve better still,

The one that I give my whole heart,

The one who values the thing I hold dear.



So tonight when you asked me

Who did I love, or whose heart got mine,

I said frankly I never knew love,

Yet to pick one from all men I knew,

I would pick him, yes him,

The one I first opened up to.



No, it wasn't my first boyfriend.

It was farther back then,

I was only in grade ten,

Didn’t know that was called puppy love.



Because of him I argued with my parents.

My parents saw him through but I didn’t.

They hated me to do things with him.

I remembered when I went high school prom

With him, my father was so mad

That he swore not to talk with me again.



Now I think back, I was silly.

I was nothing to him, and time made no changes.

I am nothing to him, yet it doesn’t matter anymore.

He hurt me once, but only once.

Eliza~
I thought about your signature line when I read this ...
I sort of transposed that thought to 'Yesterday's loss ... tomorrow's gain'~

'I heard real love comes only once in a lifetime'

Oh, hon ... I'm here to tell you that fortunately real love comes many, many times in a lifetime~
While we all remember 'first love' ... hopefully, there will never be a 'last love'~

The heart has rooms to contain the love of many~

Another time - another place
someone will touch your heart with loving grace
You will remember then
that what I say is true
Somewhere in the heart of another
there is a room for you~

Interesting flow of thoughts...
I believe that love is a process of caring in which we can build a foundation for love...love or a desire to love can flow without it being our one true love...I wouldn't want to be laying on my death bed sad that I had never loved someone because I did or didn't find the one I considered my one true love or the one I could spend my whole life with...James
