I'Ve Sin I'Ve Loved and I'Ve Lost I'Ve Won-

I’ve sin I’ve loved and I’ve lost I’ve won… I’ve lusted for another’s wife, only to taste the cold bitter steel of their knife. I’ve tasted loves bitter sweet rewards. Its harsh reality of broken hearts and dreams never forged. Its tender and gentler side which can be so sweet and meek. Its divided house when two souls of the opposite collide into a mass of hatred instead of love. Its tender compassion that can help them too reunite as one. Its somber weeping cries in the midnight air…when it longs for a lover who no longer cares. It’s the mourning over a lover who has passed away like a gentle rain, that falls on the flowers on a warm spring day. Oh! The things that I have did, but not in the name of love…but that of sin. A blink of an eye and the favor of a grin? It’s the fool who passes those two signs, who will never know true love and know what it really feels like. For I’ve sin and I’ve loved I’ve lost and now I won. I found true love, but without the lost or the sin…but in the arms of my best friend. My wife.. my soul the very reason I do live.
