I used to feel so brilliant, so good about my life,but after I got involved with you, all I felt was strife.I'd spend my days thinking of you, knowing you were with her.I tried to focus on other things, but it all turned to a blur.At night before I'd lay my head down, I'd close my eyes and praythat a miracle would happen and we'd be together someday.I kept my faith and hopes up for what seemed like a million years,ever day just wishing you'd come and wipe away my tears.But you never came to rescue me, I was left out in the cold,and slowly as I lay there waiting, my heart became worn and old.Finally, after such suffering, my poor heart finally died.I felt like I needed to weep some more, but all the tears had been cried.So since I've been without you, I haven't known what else to do,than to remember all the good times that I used to spend with you.And just in case you were wondering, though my heart has died,the love I'll ALWAYS have for you is burning deep inside.

One day in your precious life, someone will walk in and you'll find out that's the person you want to spend eternity with.  If you're lucky, you'll get to spend that eternity with them, but even if you somehow lose them, they stay a part of you forever, and so does their love, because once love has branded itself on your heart, it becomes a part of you, something you can't live without.

Lubaina....

Dear Lubaina-
I thought this exhaled your feelings well-
But I do have to say that love lost was never found-
It may have been felt and may have felt right-
But if it separates then it became one sided once
the unity was felt more by one than the other-
And take this to heart my friend-
What that does mean is there is still that someone
out there looking for YOU willing to give back the same
that you offer them-
May the light of Shangri~La illuminate the paths that
allow you to find each other-
Best Wishes to You and Yours My Friend~
Peace~
James

I hear you got to be lucky in love, but luck has nothing to do with writing good poems, as you do. Have a good ol' happy birthday. noah

I'm sorry if it has happened to you Lubaina. If not, it was a very heart-wrenching poem right from the title.
