I Cry for Love

Some say the best things in life are free.
Love is...
because there is no price you can pay
to steer loves precious touch your way.
When an opportunity for love comes to you
does anyone tell love thanks a lot but no thank you.
I think not...
we all seem more than eager to embrace
the magic of love face to face.
And as love begans to settle in
we find that love can be our friend.
It only wants to flourish and to grown
if nourished properly by your heart and soul.
Now some may say that love will not carry the day.
It takes some time to tempt and tease us
and than it slowly slips away.
Still I believe not that love is a desire we must pursue
when hearts are ready love will come share time with you.
Assuming all of the above is true
why do lovers part and say "We're through."
Why does heartbreak come and make us cry.
The answers are not entirely a complete surprise.
Perhaps one loved...perhaps one lied.
One was in love and the other not it would seem.
They only used the pretense of Love
to completely destroy their lover's dreams.

James, beautifully written as usual James you seem to do this so well and effortlessly. Maybe you make it look effortlessly because you are so good at writing them. Love this one James, and happy that you and Mina are fine.
Take care
