The One
by Tony Whitaker
Most everyone someday laments
About a love they call The One
The One haunts their heart
With tormented belated regrets
The One fills their memories and
The One they cant forget
They endeavor to find another
But never to be outdone
For the memories will fill their days
And a want for another run
And if that chance were given,
Their actions would then commit
To have and hold, hug and kiss
To remove any worldly threat
So if The One is in your life
Never give them reason to run
Now as I reflect on that special person
The One I loved and lost
To return to that time
To relive those days
This time I would not falter
I would fully give my life and love
No matter what the cost
And to smile as I see her walk to me
As I stand upon the altar
Now twenty years have disappeared
The One has long been gone
And though now I love another
My memories of The One live on
