I Once Believed....

I once believed that love wasn't real
That it was a figment of the imagination
That caused humans to act in the most bizarre of ways.

I believed this because I have never felt true love
Until I met this one person who changed my whole belief system
And made me feel special, the best in the unique of ways.

I felt closer to this one person then I have ever felt for anyone
But then she moved away and I broke down,
I tried to drown my sorrow and despair with liquor and sex
But it still persisted, so I hid my pain from others
(letting them think I was fine when I wasn't).

Couple years passed and the hurt never lessened
I never heard from her again since that fateful day,
That is until recently; I started talking to her again
And I felt my heart become whole again.

So now here I am hoping and hoping with every fiber of my being
That one day we will be together again
Where I can hold her in my embrace and never let go,
Because though I once believed that love wasn't real
I'm sure as hell now that there is, for I am in love with my one and only.
