True Love?... Lost Love?

Folder: 
High School Love

I once asked myself what is true Love

I asked myself this question because of what I thought i had

I looked on her face, with complete admiration

For what she would be was a endless rotation

Never simply content with the cards she was dealt

She strove to gain more while I simply watched

I never understood why she kept running

well... maybe I did, i just wouldn't admit it

As I layed back and watched, Perfectly content with my world

She stood up and marched for a greater tommorrow

I still stand here, perfectly content with my world

and i know where she is, she will still be marching

for a greater tommorrow for her and her kids

and now I accept it, the fact she's not mines

I once thought it was sad... to never be happy

to live your life in a struggle when you could be happy

Hopefully one day she'll settle

but I know in my heart, it will never come near

for the cards in her hand, will never be good enough

And that's not a bad thing, for she will always have more

As i lay and relax, in all my postive ways

she will march onward for a greater tommorrow

so I began by asking what is true love

And really, I'm not sure

But if now, I can sit here, knowing She is gone

Knowing I will never see her again

and Knowing she will march onward

Even with all that, and all of our past

If I can still be happy knowing she is fine

then maybe True Love is there in knowing

The only way we can make each other happy

is by allowing us to not feel the pain

To look upon one's face
