she shared with me her story 
her life, her loves and sad times 
bittersweet was what she called him 
he was her love, complete 
for days I listened, mystified 
as her story grew, 
the more she tried 
to convince me otherwise 
the more I knew 
this was her life 
albeit bittersweet 
I have often thought of this lady's tale 
when hearing of new found love, 
and how after years 
of highs and lows, 
tears and bliss 
I guess she did describe it best 
what other way than, 
bittersweet ...
