ed by love I once was young and free No ties to bind, no worries in me But then I was captured by a force Love, it was, that took me off-course. With its charm and its power I found myself in its bower It held me close, it whispered sweet And with its grasp, I was complete. But love, it is a fickle thing And all too soon, it took wing Leaving me alone and lost Aching for its touch, at any cost. Now I wander, broken and meek With nothing but memories to seek Of a time when I knew love's embrace When it brought a smile, to my face. But even though it's left me bare I can't regret the love we shared For in its passing, I've learned to see The beauty in what love can be.
