Under The Flowering Willow

Paused under the flowering willow
wasting thoughts
collecting dreams.

Who said, 'it is better
to have loved and lost,
than to have never loved at all' ?

Perhaps One who has never loved?
Perhaps One who has never lost?

To fall in love is a whirlwind
of emotions and desires,
it sucks you both in and wont let you go.

Head spinning in a new world
of smiles and laughter
where nothing else seems to matter.

To find those feelings just out of your grasp
a face becoming a blur as
it drifts in and out of your heart.

The hardest thing is to look back at a love
you thought would last for ever
but know it is nothing but thoughts and dreams.
