Maybe Only Once

I wish I had never loved
Then maybe it wouldn't hurt
To not have it anymore

They say it is better
To have loved and lost
Than never loved at all

Is that true
My head says at least you felt love
Buy my heart yearns in the absence

Maybe I should have never
Let my heart open
Maybe then it would not hurt

What I would do to feel love again
To have someone to hold
And someone to call my own

Maybe true love only comes once a lifetime
Maybe I missed my shot at love
Now meant to dream about what used to be

Why is love so hard to find
Why was I so blind
I should have kept what I had
Because now I may never know it again

To have someone in your arms
Someone to cherish as your prize
Your one and only

Your greatest accomplishment
Your better half
Your true love

Can there be more
There has to be right
Then why has it been so long
And noone to show for it

These are just words on a page
Reflecting the burning heart I hold
For losing the one thing
That ever really mattered
Love
