I Searched In Vain

I had and lost a love so sweet, so fair It came about by chance so quick and rare There was no time to think of wrong or right Love came and stayed to help us through the night We met and talked while time had stopped it seemed As time stood still I found what I had dreamed I asked her name, she laughed and said, "Be still. If this should last beyond tonight, I will." The night of love flew by on wings of fears The thought to lose this love at light brought tears But through it all the joy of hope pressed on - The sun came up, a kiss and she was gone I searched and watched to see her face again But deep inside I knew I searched in vain And now I'm old I lived as best one does I sit and think and wonder who she was October 1, 2016 For contest Iambic Pentameter
