Another Love Story

The times we were together
Has been time well spent.
Lighter than any feather
I felt with that sweet scent.

And I am so grateful
I feel deep relief,
I have not fallen hopeful
Like manys’ belief.

It is for the best
As I look away and above,
That I am not like the rest
With this false thing called love.

It’s as clear as day
Why can’t they see,
Nothing escapes decay 
And routine does not flee.


Looks will fade
And personality will grate,
It’s all a charade
There is no fate.

Reality is here
Why do they ignore it?
A form of fear
Or force of habit?

Fool themselves into thinking
There is one true love,
Life has a meaning
A perfect- fitted glove!

But let them keep dreaming
I will not interfere,
For I do my own thing
Because I have no fear.

UMM, S.T.; interesting write my friend. I don't believe that Love or life for that matter "fits like a glove" but I do believe Love exists. Both Love and Life are what we make them. I enjoyed your poem...Lay
