Lost In Love Poem by Richard Dave Luison

What is Love? I wanna know
What is Pain? I wanna feel it too.

Amid a large congregation
There I found you.
Then, I said to myself
I have found the woman I'd want to love
For the rest of my life.

The possibility of you and I being together
Is something that I was not sure then.
I said to myself that you are way beyond my league.
Having you as my beloved is something I dare not believe.

But, fate, love or whatever force there is
Works in a way mysterious to my comprehension.
Out of the blue, you and I became friends.
If that was possible, I wish the other too will be the same.

A wish granted, it was then
You and I became more than friends.
Then I said to myself that I am the luckiest man there is.
To have a woman for me sent straight from the heavens,
Your name is but a clear evidence.

For a year or two,
We shared each other's pain and suffering.
More so, we shared happiness anyone in a relationship should feel.
But I believe that ours is something greater.

With that in mind,
I remain steadfast amid life's difficulties that came to and for us.
I was sure then, that what we have is worth the fight.
Just the thought that you will always be there for me
Granted me the necessary might.

I thought that was all that I needed to stand upright.
I thought that as long as you are with me
There is no reason for me not to fight.

Without me realizing, what I thought all these times and
The things that I tried so hard to believe and hold on to
Are but absurd and futile.
Indeed, nothing but chase after wind.

The more I hold on to
The more I try to fight for what we have,
The more I lose myself
Drifting meaninglessly in this so called life.
