The One

My dearest love,

Mistakes have been made,

More times than one, I’m afraid.

Though drawn to each other,

Like this, we’ll never find another.

I left you for something I knew would never last.

I left you for something full of remnants of my past.

But you were the one thing always constant in my life.

I threw it away and now I drown in my inner strife.

The rainbow to my storm,

The rose growing through my thorns,

I buried in the shadows of my fear.

I ran, lost control, can no longer steer.

I realize what I’ve done, although too late.

I’ve got to accept my fate, and wait.

You’ve been won over,

Not by me, I painfully say, I am merely hungover.

I sit and watch the smile grow;

You’re with him and your face glows.

I cannot face it any more;

Every time I look, I have been torn.

We’ve come to terms and have said our vows;

That if meant to be, our hearts will bow.

The gentle kiss and soft embrace,

Brings endless smiles to my face.

Though time will tell,

I shall prevail

To win your heart;

Our forever life shall start.

Since we’ve met, you’ve been my world.

Yet with our hearts, I’ve twirled;

Not realizing that the love I seek

Has been by my side, reaching its peak.

Now that I’ve grown, I’ve lost control;

I no longer have the dice to roll.

For it’s for you to decide

For whom you’d like to confide.

Tattooed on each other’s hearts,

Our love will never grow apart;

Yet time and time alight

We can never seem to get it right.

Though in the end, when it matters most,

We raise our glasses in a toast,

‘Cause we have realized our future’s within

And with each other, our life begins.

Yours forever,

Me
