“TO HAVE HAD LOVE”

TO HAVE HAD SOMETHING OF MOST IMPORTANCE THEN LET IT GO,

IS LIKE FLAKES FALLING INTO THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS THEN WATCHING THEM MELT EVEN THOUGH YOU STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF A FIELD AND THERE’S SO MUCH SNOW,

TO HAVE HAD LOVE……. YOU KNOW,

IS LIKE STARTING OUT YOUNG, THEN TURNING THE PAGE AND YOU ARE INSTANTLY OLD,

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE A TRACK MEET WHERE WE START OUT SO FAST, BUT END OUT WALKING SO VERY SLOW,

WITH ALL I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND ALL THAT I HAVE COME TO KNOW,

I STILL WOULDN’T STOP MYSELF, I CAN’T HELP MYSELF FROM FALLING IN LOVE STILL……. EVEN STILL, EVEN THOUGH,

TO WITNESS AND BE INVOLVED WITH A CHILD’S GROWTH,

ALL WITH LOVE THAT COMES IN AND KEEPS YOU WRAPPED UP TIGHT FOR YOU NEVER KNEW LOVE LIKE THIS EVEN EXISTED BEFO’,

TO HAVE HAD LOVE IS AN UNREAL THING, 

YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN IT IS GONE THE JOY AND PAIN THAT IT CAN BRING, 

WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN FOUR LETTERS’ ENORMITY AND ALL IT WOULD MEAN, 

THE EMOTIONAL LEVELS THAT CAN MAKE YOU SCREAM!

CRY TEARS OF JOY AND TEARS OF HURT, 

TO HAVE HAD LOVE THEN LOSE IT AND TRY ALL OVER AGAIN AS IF IT WAS YOUR FIRST, 

TO REGAIN LOVE IS LIKE DYING OF THIRST, 

WHEN YOU GET THAT DRINK YOU ARE WISE TO SIP AND NOT ENGORGE YOURSELF TILL YOU BURST, 

SOME TIMES WE HAVE LOVE AND IT JUST SLIPS AWAY, 

I’VE CRIED TEARS FROM LOST LOVES AND SOMETIMES I STILL CRY TILL THIS DAY, 

I HOLD ONTO MEMORIES – I WONDER IF I AM ALONE, 

I WONDER IF YOU DREAM LIKE I DREAM AND REMEMBER NIGHTS WHEN WE COULDN’T HANG UP THE PHONE, 

DAYS WE SPENT, AND ALL THE TIMES WE SHARED, 

PROMISES THAT YOU AND I WOULD STAY TOGETHER – THAT YOU’D ALWAYS BE THERE, 

LOVE TO HAVE AND A LOVE TO ALWAYS HOLD, 

KEEPS YOU UP LATE, BUT ALSO KEEPS YOU WARM FROM COLD, 

BLIND TO ALL THINGS EXCEPT THOSE IMAGINABLE, 

WITH YOU HERE WITH ME ALWAYS – ONE HAND IN THE OTHER AS THEY FOLD CLOSED, 

LOVE IS TO HAVE AND TO HAVE HAD IT IS TO LOATHE, 

THE HURT AND PAIN IT CREATES ARE THE SAME AS THE HAPPINESS MANIFESTED AND SOMETIMES UNTOLD, 

MOST TIMES SHOWN LESS TIMES SEEN, 

LOVE IS KNOWN TO BE THE GREATEST MOST AMAZING THING, 

LOVE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL AS IF THE WORLD YOU ARE CONQUERING, 

AND AT THE DROP OF A DIME SHOW YOU HOW MUCH YOU ARE REALLY LOSING, 

LOVE CAN BE INCONSISTENT, BUT OH TO HAVE HAD LOVE, 

MY HEART BARES THE BRUISES TO SHOW, BUT I WOULDN’T TRADE IT FOR THERE IS NOTHING ABOVE LOVE, 

THE HEALING IT PROVIDES THE GENTLENESS IS RARE, 

YOU WON’T EVER FIND IT TO BE FALSE, BUT SOMETIMES LOVE CAN BE UNFAIR, 

TO HAVE HAD LOVE MEANS YOU HAD COURAGE SO STAY ENCOURAGED AND TO YOURSELF PLEASE BE FAIR, 

FOR LOVE THAT IS NOT YOURS CANNOT BE CAGED, CARRIED, PURCHASED, NOR WEATHERED SO BUYER BEWARE, 

TO HAVE HAD LOVE AN EXPERIENCE I KNOW, 

TO HAVE HAD SOMETHING  – SOMEONE OF MOST IMPORTANCE THEN SADLY LET HER GO.
