A thought I once saw sadly, thru the mirrors of my mind,

I have now accepted gladly – for the truth in it I find.

 

One cannot be loved alone in lives we live today,

One cannot forever own – an others time to pray.

 

Though our love may be for one, our minds are soon demanding –

That our other thoughts are lonely, and they too need understanding.

 

Awards are given, not for life, but for each grand performance,

So there is no one and only love – just one and only moments.

 

So many things that we must do, in living life today,

But one and only moments, in our hearts, will always stay.

 

Moments to remember, when you spend your days apart,

Whenever you find need for them, are waiting in your heart.

 

You need not own ones every thought, to be his one and only,

If I love your precious moments brought, how can your heart be lonely?

 

So we leave our ‘One and Only” love, a little more each day –

But if your love’s for only one, it cannot lose its way.

 

Your ‘One and Only” will return, and precious time you’ll spend,

Making ‘One and Only’ moments, no one else can ever end.
