there was a time when love was new,
long ago, but so true.
it was pure and it was simple,
it was warm and it was gentle.
man saw woman and woman saw man,
and it was perfect in God's plan.
they gave and they tried as hard as they could,
to make it special, to make it good.
and it was.
Oh, it was.
One thing about love, that was undoubtable true,
never question it's exsistance, or it will leave you.
away from your heart, away from your mind,
you'll never understand it, just hold it inside.
with something so pure and simple as this,
it needs no question, be glad it exsists.
So Every day they man woke up,
Kissed his love, and stood up.
Smiled at the glorious day,
and said nothing could possibly get in my way.
Because she was with him.
She was his life, his love.
his reason for being.
And soon after the woman would arise,
roll over once and open her glittering eyes.
And she would say, good morning dear,
and it meant it then, because every morning was good,
because there was love.
I'm off to work, the man would say,
I'm set to hunt, no time to play.
She would frown slightly and just say,
hunt tomorow, stay here today!
wrap your arms around me, hold me tight,
For I can not wait untill the night.
the bison will be there as will the ox,
get back in this bed, and love me lots!
But the man could not do it, he knew this full well,
so he kissed her again, and said later darling, I will.
But there must have been something in the stars that day,
that made love untrue,
because as the day wore on he wondered... do I love you?
He questioned the meaning, he question the sence,
he wanted an answer, he got downright dence.
He started with logic, and that's where it ended,
he wanted to understand, and it would never be mended.
For he asked a question, that couldn't be answered.
what is love?
how do I know that I love you?
it's been so long,
maybe it's not real,
it must not be I'm gone
And the sun grew darker, and the hunt went badly.
while back at home she missed him madly.
She though and she dreamt of him and his glory
And how this love would be the most beautiful story.
But she didn't know his day or his thought,
if she would have known that she wouldn't have fought.
becuase she would have know it to be pointless.
For as he got home his life was now hard,
he questioned the reasons, he was permenantly scared,
in his heart, and is his mind, he was forever changed.
He looked at her and couldn't understand,
how love could leave him,
just slip through his hand.
for she now meant nothing.
She went to kiss him, but he just turned away,
"not now or any other day, my dear"
I now have logic and reason,
no room for feelings, tis not the season.
nor will it ever be cause I have seen the light!
and you couldn't take me back with all your might.
for I understand that there are more important things then love, and emotion.
I am immune to even the strongest of love potions!
I'll pack my bags and leave tonight,
it's the best for us, love just isn't right.
She never questioned, she didn't get it,
she felt such emotions, she needed him damn it!
how could he say such foolish things,
they were in love when the morning bird sings!
how in a day he could change his whole life?
change his perspective, leave his wife?
but those thoughts were too much
she took to his feet, she was compleatly crushed.
"please! I'll do anything you say,
I'll tell you I love you each and every day!
I will be whatever you need,
Just please don't leave me. ( she was too upset to rhyme anymore)
Sadly, this was pointless and futile,
he left that night, even though it was cruel.
He left her crying off her feet,
she died that day, she couldn't eat.
she cried forever and wasted away,
and that's the end I'm sorry to say.
The tale is sad but o so true,
but it will take its toll on you.
For from that day, love was jaded,
it changed it's ways it's magic faded.
love that true just doesn't exsist,
it wasn't a privilidge it was a gift.
And now the world will never know,
what it means to love so much you glow.
Sadly since they were the first
they're a part of all of us and we're all cursed.
Wishing for a love that we'll never find,
some wish so hard they lose their minds.
becuase the emotion feels so good and right,
sadly, there is no more love,
not in this life.
