TRUE LOVE

By Bill Cottringer

Romeo & Juliet were not an empty myth,

But they were just one small clue for us;

Theirs was really just an early first chance

For a sweet and innocent budding love,

Encouraging us all to search for true love.

True love is a long journey so hard to find;

But those who finally do find it know best;

They have been looking for the right clues

In everything they say, hear and believe,

To finally recognize their only true love.

There's no greater feeling or experience,

Than finding your one and only true love;

There is no hesitation or no holding back,

Just letting go, giving into the one true love—

The one love that took so long to finally find.

True love just magically happens but once;

Very sad is when it is not allowed or known,

But utter joy and bliss when it's finally found;

There is no uncertainties, doubts or fears,

Only sweet, imagined dreams to burst alive.

I am so very glad I did not stop searching

For my true love who lovingly promised,

Never, ever to stop waiting for my return;

To remember the clues she left behind,

Leading me back to her and my true love.
