It Comes But Once

by S.M. Scott - Capricorn

It's this great feeling
I hold in my heart
A change in my life
That you are now part,
Suddenly falling in love
With what's out of reach
And learning lessons
They could not teach,
It comes but once
When you must let go
And the sadness felt
From a love you know,
For you have my heart
Though you hold another
As I remain waiting
You grow close to eachother,
This is the pain
I hold in my soul
Now knowing the truth
And playing the role,
It comes but once
During our little time here
And how I wish
You could be near,
But I will love you
The most my heart will allow
For I would choose eternity
Over a few moments now,
And you see in me
What is your heart's desire
And I feel in you
A heart set on fire,
It comes but once
And this I feel is true
But I'll sacrifice life
To have forever with you.

Reason for writing:

    This poem is about how I felt when I had to step aside and let the girl I really liked be happy in the arms of the guy she had been dating for four months, and is still with, despite my heart breaking.
