Ahem... Ahem...

Not because she wore the nicest dress, Not because she was the smartest woman I had met, Not because she was the prettiest girl in the crowd, Not because she had the most divine smile I had ever experienced, It was because sometimes it takes a lifetime or more to know, Why you fell in love….. Not because she loved me more than I thought one could be loved Not because she accepted all my petty mistakes and forgave me, Not because she cared for me like I was her world, Not because she made me a better man than I was, It was simply because sometimes it takes a lifetime or more to know How much one can be loved … I love her just a little more, little more than my own life… I treasure every moment I spent with her, In my memory she still lives, Call it fate, call it destiny, this wasn’t how I dreamed of it, She left because she had to… I am still madly in love with her, Not because there aren’t other great women around … It’s because, sometimes it takes a lifetime or more To forget….
