The Last Dance

The spotlight of the moon,

Dancing beneath the stars.

Hoping she doesnt see the darkness,

And what she hides beneath those scars.

 

Kisses and roses,

To make things just right.

As you hold her in your arms

Floating upon the clouds tonight.

 

One night to give one last try

Renew the love you once knew

With the angels closely watching

As the devil waits for you.

 

With dried frozen tears,

And whispers of 'I love you'

She steals a kiss of toxic love

For the pain you cannot never undo.

 

Don't be scared now, close your eyes

Love will take it's course.

love always takes its own course.

Love is never a constant thing, but that doesn't mean it fades very easily either. Sometimes it's just not visible to us since we're too busy looking at other things. In my very impersonal experience, romantic love has 3 main stages (though they also tend to fluctuate quite a bit):

1. The beginning, in which love seems to overshadow everything, and be the most important thing in our lives. This is when we daydream and fantasize about our loved ones, and feel each and every one of their heart beats, as if it was our own. We worship them, as their existence seems to give our lives a new type of meaning. Unfortunately, this is the shortest out of the 3 stages.

2. We start taking our loved ones for granted - they've just become an integral part of our lives, and other things overshadow the love that we share with them. Sometimes being shadowed by other things, such as work, taking care of the kids, and even taking out the trash, it seems that the love has faded. It's still there - it's just not as central as it used to be. It is still very important, but other things have to proceed it in order for us to function in our everyday lives.
Many don't survive this stage, simply because they think love isn't there anymore. It is, it's just hidden behind other things, and if we let ourselves believe that it's gone, sooner or later it truly will be, as we find ourselves attracted to other people, and forming a new bond. This is the most crucial stage, and also the longest, but to the victor belong the spoils of the next step:

3. Old age, in which there's nothing more to live for except for love. The truly lucky ones spend a few years sitting in a chair with their loved ones sitting right next to them, just staring into their eyes while holding their hand. That's when even the most skeptic find out the love was there all along.
But some, unfortunately, don't get to enjoy this stage for very long, or at all for that matter, and that's when one discovers how important love really is, because those people are the ones who lose themselves to diamante - they have nothing more to live for.


My point I'm trying to make here is that love can't be lost unless we allow it to slip away, and it's usually there whether you realize it or not. Remember that, and hopefully you'll be one of the lucky ones, dying in their sleep in their loved one's arms after sharing all 3 stages, a full life, with them. You deserve that. :)
