Once I met you
We lingered together
Lived a lifetime in seconds
And you were gone

Once I loved you
At first glance I knew
We were meant to be
And you were mine for that time

Once we embraced
Tenderly kissed in secret
Alone but unafraid
Knowing we had each other

Once we were taken in
Others who wanted us
They kept us safe and warm
And we were ne'er apart

Once the memories ingrained
My heart will never forget
You left not because of hurt
But because of reality

Once I woke up
Realised that you were gone
That only in my dreams do I find love
That we will never truly be

Once I loved
Though noone knew it
The one I cried for on waking
Never was to begin with.
Another emotive one. Maybe one of these days I'll write something happy. Heh, don't hold your breath Dai. =P

XD Oh, I've learnt not to hold my breath for something happy. My poetry can be any emotion, but I can appreciate a good piece when I see it. You might want to fix up your capitalisation, though (second lsat stanza, third line: "That only in my dreams do i find love" Puh-lease, lower-case 'I'? :P)

I like it. I really do - especially that last stanza.
