The book of love

When all that matters is no more
and emotions lay bare on the floor
when all that once was no longer is
then life has surely lost its fizz
but hope springs eternal, or so they say
and maybe I'll find love again some day
maybe not now, or even next week
but in time I might find the one whom I seek
She might not be perfect but then neither am I
she might not come to me in the blink of an eye
but as the saying goes, and we all know it well
'there's someone for everyone'.....
it's on these words I dwell
we've all been in love and lost someone dear
and after the pain then comes the fear
the fear of finding someone new
and of closing the book on the past that we knew
and the one that we loved and with whose love we grew
but books are written with a start and an end
and love is the same, no matter how we pretend
all we can do is enjoy each chapter
while cherishing the love of the new heart we capture.

Nice poem.

"but as the saying goes, and we all know it well
'there's someone for everyone'....."


If this saying is true then it should accompany the saying " seek and you shall find."

Happy holidays. wave

^^^^^ in reply to the above ...
Love is not something we need to look for.
It just comes when the time is right.

Be Love, and you'll attract Love. heart wings

Something else that comes to mind...

You can chase butterflies all over the field all day long and never catch one
But, if you sit still and quiet for a minute, one will come and sit on your shoulders.

I find this to be true...for everything in life. smile

Nice...but you seem only to think of that special love .
Actually, love is all around, if we are truly loving. Family, friends are all part of the love that keeps us going.

Sometimes, that special love will never be. As it maybe just a thing of the moment for the other .
Then it would just be a memory to be forgotten.

Excellent prose on letting go and moving on even if we are a little afraid.
