First Shot at Love Poem

As they ride along the roads on their bikes,
Run up the hills for long hikes
And run down the block to the store
Where there was always something more

I stand on the sidelines, watching them laugh
My life feels like its splitting in half
For they are a couple and i am one
I just need one shot before my life is done

To find a love, someone true to me
Someone that has the true key
To know what i think, feel, and love
To stay with me until we ascend above

I stay at the sidelines and watch them go
I sit down on the concrete where i feel low
I look up and find the clouds so gray
Im still looking, and its just another day

As poetic as it seems, sun shines again
My heart makes its amends
I stand up and walk towards home
Down the alley i go, all alone

If love was a thread, just a single one
It would be to easy to break the fun
But love for me is a thick rope
Who knows? I still have hope
