Love At First Sight

I had loved once for the first time But that error it was all mine, I thought I had heard the bells chime But what I had heard was just a deadline, I was told I wasn’t a young person anymore They said that my life it was passing me by, My heart and soul I needed to restore And of course alone, I did not want to die. I had the choice between love and hate Choosing one or the other to dwell in my heart Joy and happiness I decided would be my fate Hate and loneliness I would not be a part I then experienced loved at first sight But that too was so very long ago, It had brought me joy and also delight Cupid indeed had shot me with his bow, Everywhere I looked I saw love and devotion I was happy as love it became my appetite, Then I found out that love was just a notion Never again will I fall in love at first site.
