A Sunset Love

To want something so much sometimes, just isn’t good To spend a life in need, wanting, hoping is no way to live I think it shows in your eyes It drives people away Love was something that I wanted above all It was worth any effort I suffered many, many disappointments I learned finally, that I had to be totally happy with myself, alone It wasn’t until then, later in life that I found you My sunset love

Many of us want to be loved but often times, we don't find it until later in life! Love at sunset makes it even sweeter! This is a beautiful write! Well done! Hugs. Pandita

You found the secret as you describe in these words: I learned finally, that I had to be totally happy with myself, alone It wasn’t until then, later in life that I found you My sunset love. Words of wisdom, Mike!
