3rd Time Charmed Me

3rd Time Charmed Me:

They say that “3rd times a charm”

Well in my case that’s true

For it took three times for me to be charmed,

And the last time was by you

For my first love,

Young and naive

Foolish and unmeant to be

Yet, full of hope and forgiving

For my second love,

Which taught me acceptance and trust

Full of new beginnings and fresh eyes

Always, the right person, but never the right timing

And lastly, for my third love

Who was a lesson, that still rings true

Full of pain, perseverance, and passion

Love that taught me kindness and care that never faltered nor fled

These loves, that held me through my tears, even when they were the ones that caused them to fall from my face

These loves, which were exciting and unknown, full of endless possibilities and enthralling adventures

These loves, that helped define the line between forgiveness and acceptance, even when too much had already been given

These loves, who have forever shaped me and my views of life and loss, vast yet still longing to be revealed

These 3 loves,

3 lives,

3 charms,

Yet, the everlasting one, has always been you.
