Lost Loves

Yep, it's another poem about love or the lack thereof. Really, I'm just exercising my rhyming muscles after a long absence.

When thinking of the loves you’ve lost,
Or longed to love, or never knew,
Who surely walk now hand-in-hand
With greater loves for them than you;  
Who smile more often than they had,
Or would have had if you were there,
And stand against more sorrow than
You could have had the heart to bear.
When they who were, or might have been,
Are out of sight, though not of mind,
You may yet miss the thought of them;
They do not think the same in kind.
Unless of course, you are a “they” -
In luck with love and lost no more,
Whose current match is far more right
Than others new, or ones before.
All happiness is rightly yours;
Let not this message cause dismay,
But from your lover take a pause
For those who are not yet a “they”.
