Was that love

Was that love ?

Was it really love that I actually felt ?
Happiness and joy, did my heart really melt ?

Scent of fresh flowers, or was it the smell of her hair
Dimples on her cheeks, and Oh ! we were a perfect pair

ecstatic I was, in the world I had not a care
I'd make sure I looked good, careful of what I wear

Theatres and restaurants, left my wallet rather bare
fought with friends and family, change my mind no one would dare !

When came the day , my life I asked her to share
She said oh ! my folks wouldn't allow that, and so started my nightmare !

And now, as I sit here , heart so empty , I wonder
Amidst, the rain , the storm, the lightening and the thunder

Was that really love that actually came and went ?
Was love just an illusion, or is love a thing for me not meant ?
