Teach Me About Love Again Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Teach me about love again
Everything I once knew
I would forget
or already forgot
Many times I felt love
And gave so much
and so rarely got
Love felt shared so little
and I dreamed it would be a lot
And when my heart was true
Lovers put me on the spot
Seemed they were aimed only to wed
and I was not
I always dreamed in love real and true,
Hard to believe after many a heartache
somehow I still do
There's been love so special
For a time it lifted me out of blue
But nobody ever made my heart leap
Or touch it so softly as you
If the world could be perfect just for a day
I'd search for you and find you and say
Teach me about love again
Everything I once knew
I would try to forget
And fall in love again with you
