Down The Memory Lane

If it was'nt the darkness,
cold,
and the thick fog of winters,

dryness in my skin,
and those late hours,
of strolling sans purpose,

If it was'nt my loneliness,
silence,
and the calm that came uninvited,
with tragedy in matters of heart,
and tears that waited on the edge of the eye,
with every passing thought,

In those moments of despair,
agony,
and betrayal,life taught me,
my most valuable lesson, that
loving and being loved,
has no place for reason,

If it was'nt what it was,
life,
would have been wasted,
worshiping a shallow heart,
waiting for somebody who was'nt mine,
right from the start......
