Her beauty captured him. She thought he'll love her till the end.
Yet her outer beauty upon the rolling of time has changed.
She was naive and innocent in her own natural ways.
She was a hunger to learn as hours turned to days.
She was dismayed when she realized life wasn't smooth.
She battled strifes in her life. She never ever thought.
Her beauty gradually fades upon the churning of times.
She gained faith she held by her soul and tears from her eyes.
His love was lost, and he finds someone to fill his desire.
As she became unattractive from his own worldly eyes
Woman as she is, she became wiser as she gets older.
She danced so gracefully to the tune of life though it was bitter.
She's was buffed like gold to produce her shine.
Nothing she had but only the faith, one day, she can survive.
She is no longer a woman who can turn heads unto her
Only she knew she had to strive to the fullest and bear.
Till she knew to love her own unique and divine self,
She learned from the fantastic quotes of life she reads.
She embraced the beauty of life she thought she hadn't
Her life upon its melancholy continued to grow, not barren.
She already sags. She's is old, but she shades like a lamp so warm.
Even she lost her outer beauty, but she's confident and calm.
Now, he regretted hurting her as their love was buried by her.
She was persistent in walking on a difficult path without fear.
She was greeted by dazzling splendid beams of sunshine.
She became sweeter in the lingers of time, like wine.
She became prettier as she splashes her kind, pure heart.
She's old, but a kind of her will make her man truly glad.
She met a loving man who captivated her kind heart.
Who promised her nothing in the world, only just love
She's the woman in her ways dreamed by every man to have
He captured her heart and built her confidence firmly back.
She's the princess of him who knows love and its meaning.
She is the treasure of his heart till he breathes set to an end.
She will forever be loved by him no matter what she looks like.
She is his angel, and she meant the world in his sight.
Though how badly her old love dreamed and wished her back
It made him sad, as she found a man to love her no matter what.
Regret always comes too late, Men. Can we have your stance?
Can you define love to its essence, that love is acceptance?
Not only to the beauty of our faces and our curvy shape
We are women who deserve a kind of love that is holistic.
