A Fleeting Love -------------------------------------------
Why do we yearn a fleeting love
With a heart so full and keen
Then contemplate so endlessly
Of just what might have been
Why do we live in deepest hope
And bow our heads to pray
This elusive and so fleeting love
Will return to us one day
Why do we wander in the past
And live for yesterday
Lost so in a fleeting love
As our lives just ebb away
Why do we let them haunt us so
With every breathe we take
Or do we need a fleeting love
As some peace of mind we make
Why will we never rid our mind
Of a fleeting love so true
Engrained within out heart and soul
And in everything we do
Perhaps this is the essence
Of true love without beseech
Cause a fleeting love will always be
Forever out of reach
I have been asking myself this question for weeks, months in fact years now...i am still trying to let go and move on from a love that is true yet out of reach for reasons i wont go into. Perfect write yet again Frank..it captures the feelings briallantly...i have added this one and a few others to faves but as usual i have nothing to say except i love it....my fav part is the last few lines tho:
Perhaps this is the essence

This has the same idea that caught me up in "The." It brings up a question I've had running through my mind for a month now. How long does it take to move on? Does it ever happen? Why is it the ones we lose that mean the most?
The rhyme seemed effortless and didn't take anything away from the poem. It fit like a puzzle piece.
Thank you
I think we all have one, and the haunting memory never dies. That lovely face and the precious memories claim a corner of the mind that they won't give up!
Aaah, but far better to have had that fleeting love that forever haunts us, than never to have met that Angel at all! At least we have the memories!
