I want to write a perfect love song-
one that soars above the mundane,
and that transports a jaded listener
to a place where happiness swells
until it feels it must burst it's shell.
I want to write the perfect love poem-
expressing something that I feel
all the way down to the depths of soul;
transcending negatives I live with daily
and forcing light into my dark corners.
It seems that all my chances for this kind of love
have been stillborn or died a slow sad death.
So as I wave goodbye to yet another former lover
I wonder if I even know what I wish to write.
Whether I have ever felt the adoration
that I see in the eyes of the bride
as she walks the aisle with her new husband.
So, my latest love, I wish you the feelings
of being totally immersed in another's life.
I let you go with a poignant mix of pride and pain
and fervent wishes that you find the things
that escaped me so many times in my life.
Be forever happy and sing that perfect love song.
