once upon a time... <br />something happened to me <br />it was a wondrous thing <br />that could ever be <br />a world of make-believe, <br />a fantasy, dream-come-true <br />it was the day on the net <br />when I met you... <br /> <br /> <br />meeting you was accidental <br />interestingly, gone intellectual <br />you've gone too close but... <br />I failed to realize your worth <br />lovers kept breaking my heart <br />they simply come and go... <br />but the love I really need <br />is just right next to me <br /> <br /> <br />why do you make me <br />so special as you claimed? <br />why do you have concern <br />when I can't do the same? <br />why do we seem <br />to be as perfect mates... <br />when in fact we call ourselves <br />just 'Best Friends'? <br /> <br /> <br />I turn to you weeping <br />when my spirit needs a lift <br />just like this friendship <br />I treasure as a gift <br />you paint my life... <br />with colors in wide amaze <br />and make the world I live <br />...a better place <br /> <br /> <br />if someone would ask me <br />how beautiful life is... <br />I would lean on your shoulder, <br />and tell him 'like this! ' <br />dont turn back on love <br />when its now in front of you <br />if someday you'll regret <br />t'was a door next to you.<br /><br />Cynthia Aluning<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-upon-a-magic/
