One time girl

One time girl

Along a quiet river

by a lonely looking tree,

a meadowlark way up above

began to sing to me

It's song was so enchanting

that it sent my mind a whirl,

I grabbed a stone and skipped it

thinking bout that one time girl

Her kiss was sent from heaven

and her eyes were to adore,

her beauty took my breath away

I couldn't ask for more

My lucky stars were shining

and my feet were off the ground,

I hoped it was forever

with this angel I had found

When came the day she left me

as a tear my eye did send,

for in this moment, I could feel

my heart breaking again

But then I had to smile

as my inner self could see,

that if I hadn't met her

I'd not know what love could be

So, now I just go walking

thinking bout that past romance

and cannot stop believing 

I will get a second chance

But if that never happens

then right here is where I'll be,

along a quiet river

by a lonely looking tree

Lovely to find a poem from you on the forum willweb. A sad one of love and loss but in my opinion always better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Reads so well, flows beautifully. Have a great day.

As usual, excellent rhyming and meter. Yes, while the experiences fade, the memories are there to sustain us.
