An Unrequited Love©

There once was a man
who when he was a boy
Had ideas of what he hoped his
love would grow to be when he was of the dating age
He watched the love his parents shared with one another
He watched couples walk the streets hand in hand
With their eyes locked
Their looks made you feel if you were invading a special and private moment
He couldn’t wait til he was older
So that he too could have that look
With a woman meant just for him
And share those feelings with a woman he would come to love
At age 29 settled in his work
Still close to his family
He had found love
Someone who shared the same direction
The same views on life, love and family
He now felt it was time
That they were ready
To buckle down
Join forces and get married
On a tropical Hawaiian Island he asked his true love for her hand in marriage
Taken aback by her pause and hesitation
She replied that it just dawned on her that this was never what she truly wanted
She never set out to end up married
For now her career was her focus
Love would have to take a back seat
And said if you’re not willing
It’s time to go our separate ways
And with that his love ended
He returned home to his family with his heart-broken
His love now unrequited
Where would he go
What would he do
But now it would become his focus
No more sitting back waiting for love to find him
He would open his heart
And open his mind
To see where love might find him
Always knowing that love is worth the time and the wait
