Fading Passion

There was once a woman I loved, with long, blond hair
And she was a sight to behold, at least to me
She had green eyes and skin that seemed so fair
To wit, she was the queen of all I could see
There came a time, however, when I outgrew her
And her gaze, in turn, strayed away from my face
My image of her began to fade and blur
And our passion disappeared without a trace
I'm alone now, and wouldn?t have it any other way
I've lost a love, but gained some freedom
The edges of my memory of her were meant to fray
What I once felt is now numb
After the end, there's nothing left but to begin
I've lost a love, only to love again

First Love

I never thought about what it would feel like
I never thought about the sense of self
Never did I consider that when love strikes
Everything else would be put on the shelf
There were no ringing bells, no engulfing light
No angels flying around her head
Only my mind soaring to a new height
And positive thoughts that soon spread
I care for her more than anything in this world
And would give anything to keep her safe
I have a passion that's become unfurled
To insult her is to provoke my strafe
It's a wonderful feeling, a sending from above
I devote myself to you, my first love

Dear Jennifer Revisited

My signature is signed, yours always
I miss you, and still wish you were here
Every day you're not with me goes by in a daze
It's trying not having you near
I know you care for me greatly, as I care for you
Though the hole your absence left inside of me has filled
We fell for each other, and stuck together like glue
But you had to leave, and you left me unfulfilled
I can only count the days until I see you once more
Time moves too slow for my liking
Until that day I only have memories that are stored
Of your features, your warmth, that are quite striking
They'll do for now, though your presence I prefer
I wish you could be here, I really do, dear Jennifer

Your Sorrow

Again you confide in me, my sweet-hearted flower
But I am just a man, and cannot make things better
Rest assured, I would, if I had the power
I would reduce the words of your problem to a letter
I know you don't wish to burden me, but fear nothing
For I would rather share your burden than lose you tomorrow
My only advice is to bask in the hope each new day brings
And hope the rays of sunshine outweigh your sorrow
Maybe someday you can be truly happy
But for now all I can do is hope for you
And understand the days when you are snappy
Or even comfort you when you are feeling blue
That's all I can do, for now and forever
Would I lie and lose you... never, ever

We are One

Until death do us part, we are one
And though trials and tribulations we will endure
Through it all we will have more fun
A fun that is true and pure
Do not worry for the future, do not sweat the past
This is not a sprint, but a marathon
Consider that and that is how we will last
Along with love to urge us on
It is almost like the end of a quest
And now we live happily ever after
Just remember that we are blessed
And the days ahead are filled with laughter
You are whom I choose out of everyone under the sun
Because until death do us part, we are one
