Love Just Sometimes Dies Poem by Ray Hansell

What happened to the days?
That was once filled with love
I wonder where they’ve gone
They are all that I think of

Her chestnut hair would blow wild
From a soft summer breeze
She was always here with me
Love came to us with ease

But as the years passed us by
I noticed a change
I could tell something was wrong
For she just was not the same

I asked her, what was wrong
She looked me in the eye
Before she could speak
She broke down and cried

She said, I no longer love you
My love for you has died
She tried so hard to hide it
But it couldn’t be denied

All our years together
Blown away like a summer sand
As I listened to her explain
I still didn’t understand

I asked, is there another man
Her reply to me was no
She said the love I once felt
I no longer feel to show

So she packed up all her things
So quickly she was gone
I knew that I would be alone
But I knew that I had to move on

Although it wasn’t easy
I let her walk away
You see, I was still in love with her
It was the love I felt that let her walk away

So here I am wondering
What happened to the days?
When love was alive and well
In so many different way

Some people search a lifetime
Looking for that special one
I thought that I had found her
I thought my searching days were done

Will I look for another love?
To help me light my way
Maybe I’ll just be alone
For now and every day
