The Once In A Life Time Woman

If her heart was built with stone,

I would have cracked it.

If it was built like a fortress,

I would have made it fall.

But she never had a place meant for me,

As her heart beat for other things.

She had her dreams and passions,

Future plans in which I wasn't there.

Her heart never answered my efforts,

Efforts alone can't make people fall in love.

There was no feelings at all,

And love is something that cannot be forced.

So I sit with the truth instead of fighting it,

For some people cannot be tamed, even by war.

I love her in the only way I knew how,

And I am learning to be at peace with that.

Even when I knew she was beyond reach,

My love kept trying to breach the distance.

The days without her don't add up,

In truth, they feel fewer, not more.

She came when I wasn't looking,

And when I needed her, she disappeared.

She is not one in a million for me,

But once in a lifetime person.
