My Only One Forever

You are not the only one...My heart has ever known...Yours
are not the only lips...That ever kissed my own...Yours
are not the only eyes... That whispered tenderly...And yours
are not the only arms...That held me lovingly...But no one
else in all my life...Has ever meant so much... And no one
else could ever have...Your soft, endearing touch...No one
else could ever match...The magic in your eyes...Your char-
acter and all the ways...In which you are so wise...The others
are forgotten, and...Without the least regret...I only wish that
you had been...The first I ever met.
