I loved.
The most beautiful love there has ever been
upon this most abominable earth.

I smiled.
My life was so full of the rays of sunshine that
I could not keep it back. The whole world seemed
to smile.

I felt.
A feeling so rich with all the wonderful things
that I once thought would never be mine.

I saw
This miserable world in a new light.
It was now overflowing with beauty and goodness.

I laughed.
My happiness was so bountiful that I had to share
it with those around me.

I grasped,
Clung to the love that made such a tremendous
change in my existence.

I lost,
Lost the one thing that was more important to me
than my own insignificant self.

I grieved
Over the loss I thought I would never forget
or regain.

I will love again.
Somewhere, somehow, I will regain the love
that was once the source of my being.
