Lost Love

Time keeps moving but men keep waiting
some wait for lost thoughts some wait for lost money and others for lost things
But Thoughts may come back when memory revived
Money may come again with luck and fortune
Lost things are bought again to replace...
But most men wait for something
something that was a thing of the past
something that was once pure, once adorned, once cherished...
something that was once called Love
something that they could not replace...
Once lost, it is a thing that is rarely remembered
it is sometimes forgotten as time weaves her web
or sometimes shut down in the reccesses of the mind
or worst still sometimes denied by an inner force

But a few unexpected things unearth the forgotten past
A song loved by both or a flower's fragrance that reminds
thoughts of the special face on a moonlight night
floods back the memories of that past lover
drowning us in sweet pain that accompanies lost love
That which was once lost seems almost near at hand
the inner force that denied turns into inner peace
the fragrance opens the recesses where secrets hide
the song sweeps away times intricate web...
Until lost love's enemy intervenes
Reality...
And then, Time keeps standing still, but then men move on...
