I Lost My One True Love Today

As the tide washes away with the ocean
The waves crash heavily upon the shore
How time can never be rewound a split second
I miss the times you and I shared once before.
Autumn approaches and the leaves slowly change color
The years can take there toll upon ones once youthful face
As the seasons have a habit of coming and changing our lives often
I miss the warmth I once received in your embrace.
Like a new child cries out each second, somewhere over the world
From unsightly cocoons emerge beautiful butterflies
How life is created so easily through an expression of love
I discovered someone new staring back through your eyes.

Like a fire destroying and damaging all the evidence
The gust of forceful wind blowing the remaining ash away
As the moments tick over leaving emptiness and nothingness
I lost my one true love today…
