Beginnings

Do you remember those first days
When everything they did was sweet
how we loved all  their little ways
were willing to worship at their feet
Our whole lives became one attempt
to get them to say " I  love you too"
accepting neglect, even contempt
for this was love, deep and true
Finally we hear that phrase
our hearts overflow with joy
never again will we know lonely days
having met that perfect girl.. or boy
weeks, days, months may pass
with us lost in  unbridled bliss
Living in a world as fragile as glass
held together only by their kiss
suddenly that kiss is not the same
that perfect one has fled
and we know not from whence came
this person we kiss instead
where do these perfect mates go
leaving behind those who still care
I would give my very soul to know
for I am sure I could find you there
