This Time Around

by Charles Mathew Tyner III - Scorpio

I evaded it once, but I had a youg mind.
I never knew how hard love was to find.
Admit it I must, I was a little scared.
Love...an emotion with others that can't be compared.
I thought it had left me for the rest of my days.
This time around I won't let love get away.

Second time, thought on it, thought it was too soon.
Felt I wanted to be alone like the man on the moon.
I had to control it, I couldn't bare to see her face.
Out of my mind and all memories of her erased.
Thought I had lost it through the sands of time.
This time around love will be mine.

Love left me for a while, years upon years.
False feelings of love always brought me to tears.
I thought about giving up love, quit it right then.
Then I wouldn't have to experience heartache again.
I wanted love gone, all it brought me was strife.
This time around I want love in my life.

This is my third time of my contact with love.
The kind that shines brighter than the stars above.
Love that is true and never is messed.
That one type of love the Heavens' specially bless.
I want to find the one with whom I'll never part.
The one that would stay close and never stray far.
And this time around, I'll let love have my heart.

Reason for writing:

    Though heartache comes all the time, it's no reason to quit giving up the fight to find the one created just for you.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
                                       -Lao Tzu

Isn't that a good reason to keep trying and searching?
