Once There Was a Love

Once there was a love,
Bright like the summer sky,
Dazzling like crystals under the sun's light,
Encompassing like the waves of the sea.

Once there was a love,
A zephyr of loveliness and devotion, 
A garden of nature beauties, 
A room of precious ornaments.

Once there was a love,
That’s gone with the winds,
Never to come back again,
Since you left my embrace.

Once there was a love,
That stood beside me,
Now I’m lonely and alone,
Wondering where I've gone wrong.

Once there was a love,
The essence of my happiness,
The prop of my right footings,
Now I’m disheveled and despondent. 

Once there was a love,
I'd want to come back again,
Walk through my door,
And take its permanent residence.
