A Precious Gift

A whisper, a hug, an innocent kiss,
A precious treasure, "you'll never miss".
Taken from you in a moment of passion.
A love you thought was everlastin'.

As dawn breaks you begin to realize,
it wasn't love shining in those eyes.
Unbridled lust, make your heart melt,
add another notch upon his belt.

A marathon running through your mind.
"Why wait, I love you, Please be mine".
Intently spoken, the reason now clear,
to capture the gift you held so dear.

Years pass slowly, bring maturity,
no longer the girl you used to be.
Wishing now you could go back,
recapture the gift you now lack.

Your heart weeps, full of regret.
A life mate, you finally met.
A precious gift meant just for him,
was given away on a sudden whim.
