I HAVE LEARNED

I HAVE LEARNED

I have learned that my arms are so empty without you.

I have learned that my heart skips a beat as I hear your name.

I have learned that true love lasts forever,

No matter what others may think, nor what they say.

I have learned that when I cannot see you,

That emptiness consumes my entire being.

I have learned that when I think upon you,

My heart comes alive, as the flowers in early Spring.

I have learned that no one is an island,

By themselves, it is not meant to be.

I have learned, when breezes whisper your name so softly,

Your face appears so lovingly, looking at me.

I have learned that distance does not matter,

I have learned that time sometimes stands still.

I have learned that life is not always easy,

And that I cannot always perform my will.

I have learned that when someone owns you,

That freedom is seldom to be found.

I have learned that love conquers most things,

I have learned what it is to be bound.

I have learned not to try to live tomorrow

When today is not over, nor finished, yet.

I have learned that life is filled with sorrow,

And there are many things I would like to forget.

I have learned that my mind is as a computer,

Once it has registered a thing, there it shall always be.

I have learned that when you entered into my life,

You will forever be a lovely part of me.
