One Faithful Love

Life came by, and I went along,

It wasn't always easy, but I stayed strong.

Learned to live, the life of least resistance,

I struggled a lot, understanding my existence.

My purpose in life, what the future holds dear,

The road to my soul's path is not exactly clear.

Moved along with my life, I was happy for a while,

But without finding myself, it can’t spark my guile.

They say first love never dies, could it really be true?

Tried hiding my emotions, but feelings just grew.

Trying to remember why we went our separate ways,

But all I recall was his intent loving gaze.

Let the truth be told, I never stopped loving him,

Since we both moved on, our chances have been slim.

In my heart and in my soul, our love was true,

In my mind, I analyze, still, I can't seem to construe.

Immaturity of the past was just plain lame,

All the fighting that we did, trying to win this silly game.

Is it really worth in now, that we are not together anymore?

How dare we forget our love?  How could we choose to ignore?

I think of him in the morning, when I hear our love song play,

In bed, I lay and close my eyes as I begin to pray.

I ask my God for healing, to restore my aching heart,

For I love him so deeply, whether we're together or apart.

I used to tell him, I will forever hold him dear,

A special place in my heart, my spirit is always near.

Realizing the fact, he may no longer love me,

“Teach me to detach”, to the heavens, I plea.

It took me a while to get over the pain

Ruminating in mind, I simply can’t refrain

Until I learned to keep still in God’s sweet embrace

Obsessing on the past, I slowly learned to erase.

Realizing how fickle human emotions can be

So unreliable, so unsettling, won’t you agree?

The one faithful love that is truly unchanging

God’s infinite love, infallible and abounding!
