Once upon a time...

Once upon a time,

Full of reason and rhyme

Two lovers in love were there,

Their love blossoming into deepest care.

But the world on their love took it's toll

Bringing them closer and closer to a big fall,

But He refused to lose hope and despair,

And continued to show love and care.

She too took her lover's cue,

And tried hard their love to rescue.

Many times through tears they loved,

And through pain they huffed and puffed,

And in the face of many a loss,

They always found a way across.

But the world would not accept defeat,

Instead it chose to wait and retreat,

And in a time of Her moment of pain,

Saw there was lots of ground to gain.

With one lethal strike it stuck Her heart,

And caused Her world to fall apart,

He, not knowing what the world to Her had done,

Tried hard to Her rescue to run,

But alas He hadn't known the pain to Her soul

And when He tried to heal and console,

She chose to run because He could not understand,

All that had happened to her beforehand.

He was hurt and chose to leave,

Her love was gone He did believe.

Time slowly went on and on,

But still His love was not gone,

And with a final effort of heart and soul,

He tried His best the past to hide and roll,

But She would not be swayed because of His One Fault,

Her pain She had stored in Her heart's deep vault.

And so it came to be that their love was ended,

Seemingly never again to be mended,

But there's a song in the air to this day,

That His heart still sings happy and gay,

And when asked why this could be,

He sings with joy for all to see,

"The world may think that I am beat,

And that to me is only cruel defeat,

But victory is mine and will always be,

Because my love for Her she still can see,

And though apart we may always stay,

For each other we still care and pray,

And when the world's time is o'er and done,

Our love will shine on like the Sun."
