There Was A Woman Once
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, October 9,2016

I adored the way she walked
I treasured the way she talked
I loved the way she smiled
With her, I felt still as a child

I loved everything about her
Moments pass as if they were a blur
Everywhere I was, she was there too
Each and every morning I said to her, I love you

Astonished, I watched her hips move through space
Like children playing, I gave chase
Dance she did while she moves and groove
Nothing about her that I could disapprove

The way she cooked, everything seemed to taste better
She comforted me like a Cashmere sweater
She cared for me like no one else ever bothered to
Each day passing, my love for her grew

I would stay up just to watch her sleep
I couldn't stand to ever see her weep
She meant the world and everything that was positive
There was nothing to her that I wouldn't give

I gave up everything to make her pleased
I did everything to keep her mind at ease
Traveled near and far just to see her smile
She was everything that felt worthwhile

Adoration like that I have never experience before
She was what I was longing for and even more
She was the one I truly adored
I just never knew what I had in stored

Now she is gone and all is left is emptiness inside
Tried and tried, but these feelings I can't hide
If I said I have stopped loving her, I lied
For my soul inside has truly died

After her, I have found no other
Though I have tried, I don't want to bother
For she still haunts my memories
These feelings I want to sever these

I don't want to live in the past
I have no idea how long these sentiments will last
I have moved on by myself
Those feeling I have tried to put on a shelf

Haven't heard from her years and months passing
Feelings seldom are everlasting
Lessons well learned, that's for sure
This impression I still harbor ever more
