Love is abloom
For a cousin and friend,
Something which makes me
Both happy,
And envious.
Life
Has not been easy
For her;
After losing her husband
At so young an age,
She despaired
Of finding love again,
But lightening seems to have struck
A second time
And brought her
Another chance
At happiness.
I do not resent her joy
But I would be
Less than honest
If I denied
My own forlorn
And battered heart.
How I wish
I could know
What it means
To be a part
Of a two-some,
To know what it's like
To whisper sweet words
And hear them
In return,
To share my life
And anticipate a future
With someone
By my side.
Maybe someday
My chance
And my own prince
Will come.
Maybe...someday.
