Love of My Life

Who would have thought
 a lifetime ago that easily slips away
sifted through the nonsense, truth and lies
 of emotion and experience
that teaches lessons to remember
 and reveal a love forever since,
unmatched, unable
 to live again with any other pairing.

Where and how did those days disappear
 so fast and quick escaping
the memory begins to fear faltering
 with the years now passed
and time locked in our visions
 of two becoming one.

It is in these lonely hours
 when time is mine alone
that the reality lives
 you were and are forever
the one and only one
 the love of my life.
