"To Love Another Day"

Look long for he is short

to stay

he'll take your heart and

fly away,

upon the wind on which

he flies

your love will lay until

it dies,

and with each aching

beat of heart

your soul will seek a

brand new start,

and memory will choose

to wane

a small reminder of

the pain,

will linger in the

back of mind

a remnant of what's

left behind,

and one day when your heart

is new

and you recall all you've

been through,

you'll see his love way

back then

for all it was or might

have been,

and finally know the

meaning of

living,trusting,joy

and love,

tho his love wasn't meant

to last

the greatest test in life

you've passed,

for you have loved with

no expectations

and you have lost with

no recriminations,

so even now as your

teardrops rain,

think not of loss think not

of pain,

for your heart has been open

and true

and this bodes and speaks so well

of you,

your time for love may not

be now

but it will find you some way

somehow,

and when that love you're

hoping for

smiles and walks through your

lifes door,

you will look back to

your past

and finally know this love

will last,

so look long for he is short

to stay

he will teach you to love

another day...

that is beautiful. so bittersweet. i love the ending, and how throughout you can remain positive. broken hearts don't heal easy, but this poem is a nice help along the way.
