Many years ago I had a love
That was a true love
That could have been beautiful
But I would not let them in
I pushed them away
Shut them out
Afraid of being hurt again
Now as I age
Understanding creeps in
I may never see them again
But in my heart they remain
And they occupy a little piece
Of my brain
Sometimes drifting through
My memories
Reminding me
Many years ago
I had a love true
