I LOST MYSELF THE DAY I LOVED YOU

There is beauty in nature

There is beauty in body

There is beauty in men

 But no amount of beauty can take away

The pain of separation

Of betrayal, of jealousy

Of a love that is lost,

A love that is gone

I fear I will not know my heart again

I take comfort and acknowledge that life goes on

Pain can heal, love can grow again

So I take time alone to hear

To breathe fresh air and fresh life

In me, I hope

I hear of a place where people come

So I wonder lonely alone once more

But there is hope still, there are opportunities

For man of passion and man of Love

This place that knows no love feels alien to me

A place of so many people but yet I feel so alone

So many men were lost in the flesh, only in the flesh

This sun, this heat, this place

It brings all the roughness, the wildest animal in a man

A fire, a hunger, energy, a heat that carries on the breeze

Still I do not see this in me, when I see the mirror

As the time passes and passes

A constant reminder remains that I am as one now

A bird that that has lost its song

As the sun fades and another night draws in cold

My hopes fade also, my heart it is still empty.

Strangers look for me but they do not see me

Then a new day comes filled with a new kind of light

As the rock pools are replenished by new waters in the see

My thoughts become clear too and I see myself as who I am

The person I forgot.

I wonder once more alone with my soul

Alone with my surroundings

and the cool ocean breeze finally draws me

The sun shines down on me.

 I am as one but one is the beginning

The start of many possibilities,

I maybe alone in person but I start to feel stronger,

My self again, my spirit start to feel cured, refreshed

I feel I really knew my heart again and that of another

Love can always be lost but like an old friend, it can be found again
