Love Lingers On

by Bobbie J. Brown - Scorpio

I knew a love just once,
that took me to that special place.
He was what I hoped for,
he was to me what I called fate.
He showed me how to love,
by caring for me as a friend.
The best I could ask for
because anything he would lend.
We had the best of times,
through all our moments together.
He seemed to have a way
of helping me see what mattered.

I knew a love just once,
that opened my eyes to the world.
He taught me how to live,
he made me believe in this girl.
I've learned so many things
about life's treasures inside me,
and if it weren't for him
I would have missed all I have seen.
He is just a hero
who came to turn my life around.
I sincerely love him,
he's everything without a doubt.

I knew a love just once,
that had no depth whatsoever.
He held my heart's one key,
even though he'd love me never.
Some might call me crazy,
but for love you have no control.
It's something that happened
and my heart is what tells me so.
And here now it has been
eight long months since he went away,
but he's there in my heart
because I love him still today.

I knew a love just once,
that lasted when the flame had died.
He tried to burn it out
and kill it with the dark of night.
No matter what I do,
inside he is the one for me.
He touched me where it counts,
for him I landed on my knees.
A special one he is,
maybe one day I'll make him see.
I only have to prove
that somehow he really loved me.
