Shadow of true love

 

I do not recall the day
When my hand stumbled upon his 
Like a lost puzzle piece
Among countless others 
I don't remember that sincere sensation 
That filled my soul 
As I looked into those cool brown eyes 
That looked back at me with such passion
The infinite hours discussing our dreams our hopes
Till the morning hour light shines through the draperies
The dearest words of affection 
Whispered sweetly 
That made my cheeks scarlet with delight
I dont recall just exactly what went wrong
We were...picture perfect
I dont remember ever thinking that it was my fault
I don't remember that pointed dagger
Spearing my heart 
To let it shatter against the floor into a million fragments of love
Scattered upon the ground like the fallen leaves 
And like a wounded soldier 
I fell
And cried soft tears of anguish 
I dont remember ever finding another 
All I remember now 
Is just a shadow
This shadow of true love
