opportunity of a lifetime

my intention is not to sound like i'm searching
but i must admit you're on my mind
it's hard to keep recollections from emerging when
i do believe you'd give me love
of a different kind

a love particularly unique to us
beyond what our blind eyes can't see
beyond the standards of infatuation and lust
that others make love out to be

a love as a challenge to both you and me
helping us grow, with one another, to be all we can be

we believed in each other at one point in time
and now from the different kind i resign
knowing you
were my opportunity of a lifetime
