One true love I never thought I\u2019d meet.
\n\u201cMove on…\u201d the psychic told me.
\n\u201cWe have many mates to our souls.
\nHe was just one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Was he really? What color were his eyes?
\nI don\u2019t recall, except for the way he felt
\nin my arms, and the warm glow I still feel.
\nDarling, I still feel you near.<\/p>\n
I gave up long ago. I gave up
\nbefore he played his guitar.
\nBefore he stopped at the sight of me.
\nBefore he walked away.<\/p>\n
Before she claimed him,
\nI gave up on love.<\/p>\n
No such thing, I thought, when he tried
\nto say it, when I tried to say it,<\/p>\n
when I said it in my heart and in my soul.
\nLust! What is lust but longing for love?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
