Close your eyes to a wonderment
That singles you out, from the
Miriad of humanity that remains
Close to the looking glass.
Feel the soft sting of hope
Giving you the power to reconcile
The last moment you honestly
Loved another person without pain.
Not the kind of pain that
Makes your heart feel alone
When you you've only just
Gone around the corner for a drink.
The kind of pain that rips
At your soul, withering your
Resolve to continue on home
Knowing it may have been your chance.
Letting the tears stream down
Covering your face like a new
Skin, giving you the hope
That your mind is truely gone.
For if it still lays inside,
Then why are you going away
From the eyes you fell for days ago
And the kiss you desperatly want again.

I think its important that we learn to have the capacity for love...if the other doesn't know how to love it is their loss...James

This is a great poem of yearning philosophy. I love this lead in....

               "Feel the soft sting of hope
                Giving you the power to reconcile
                The last moment you honestly
                Loved another person without pain."

The whole poem is a wonderful read!

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

It is indeed a rarity to find a true love that washes away all the hurt that world once bestowed upon us, to cleanse are mind, heart and souls so we may see the ray of hope again. I think that everyone has searched for this kind of love at least once.  Only some of us are lucky enough to find it.
