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

Such a gentle, wistful piece. The river and lonely tree hold the ache so softly, and the way the poem moves from heartbreak to quiet gratitude feels beautifully human. It’s tender without bitterness, hopeful without forcing it. A lovely, peaceful read.

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.
