Last night we were together again
I felt your body surround and fill me with love always desired
The grand passion took us over and reality slowed to become that moment
Only a dream I had to admit as the hot sun told my eyes to open
But when reality is a sad, empty chasm of loveless sorrow
Such welcome respite may come in slumber
Yeah, sigh, dreaming sure do beat all

This is a true story. I have given up on love. I have given up on myself as someone who can find romantic love in a true and potent form. I dare to say that I cannot be loved. I am too broken and sad and have used up my quota of love already. I have had two who have loved me and I them, but those are loves of the past and offer nothing now but bitter memories of love’s calamity. I would be so happy to find the love of my life that would be my mate for all time. It seems that is a dream of the past, a dream that a child had, and a silly childish belief. So I love my child and I love my cat. I have put myself on the edge of reason, on the precipice of love and shouted, “Here I am! I will love you!” I have jumped and I have fallen. Sadly, love’s net has not reached out to hold me. I have crashed on the rocks below. I have nothing and nothing has me.
