The Greatest Tragedy

To live in a world where your mere existence is one of the most momentous events
to be cherished, worshipped, and loved unconditionally
is every person's dream
when it happens it seems as a gift from the heavens

to be able to do no wrong
for all your beauties to be examined and magnified
and for your flaws to disappear
is indescribable

to be respected as an equal
to be able to cheer someone else up by just being present
to be the saving grace of someone's life
to serve as their lantern on a stormy night
is a feeling so divine

to be showered with love and affection like never before
to have your heart beat for one true person
to never doubt the feelings of another
to experience the security just being in their arms

knowing that you'll still love the same at the age of 80
that age, wrinkles, and time will never dampen your love
to experience the envy of those who have never had it
is an inside joke to the lover's soul

you become sensitive to the spinning of the earth
your sensitivities are awakened by your other half
and you truly become one with this person
no words can describe the passion that evokes between you

the greatest tragedy known to man is when you cease to exist
when your importance is no longer recognized
to go from being the main source of light
to yourself being surrounded in total darkness

the love that you once shared
is gone
because fear keeps you from realizing its beauty
and distance keeps two close hearts apart

the greatest tragedy is the breaking of a union
that had the potential to last forever
the desire to extend beyond several lifetimes
and into the heavens

the greatest tragedy is when your heart realizes its lost its equal
when your imperfections resurface, and your doubts come back
when pain and anger replace all the love

nothing but memories remain of the greatest love i've known
pictures tell a story
letters tell more
but the greatest tragedy is that you are too scared to even try on one of the best loves you've ever had
