we don't chose who we love,
it falls softly on us.
We see it as always present,
never ending.
There are times where,
love does not stay,
and the end brings with it,
much hurt and pain.
Memories bring tears,
there is an emptiness inside,
a longing for one more touch,
and the ever present,
ache of loss.
But I feel that,
even though this can happen,
there are those loves in life,
that regardless of the pain,
we would of loved anyway.
Because even with all the pain,
there was beauty,
and such love, as never before,
touching a part of our heart and soul
never touched before,
and never to be touched again.
A love that brought dreams to life,
made us feel alive,
through all the passion,
and fire it evoked within.
To have known such love,
is worth all the pain,
the emptiness, and longing,
for you have been touched,
and blessed by the special,
magic of love.
In times alone,
the memories will return,
still warming your heart,
for though it may end,
it does not die.
