And We Fell In Love

Remember way back then when we first met we used to listen to, both night and day, those love songs then that we would not forget like, "when I fall in love" by Doris Day. So young we were, that word 'forever' seemed so far away, for at the moment we could only see today and never dreamed forever was exactly how we'd be. So many years went by, and here we are as we remember words of that old song; and when we fell in love we found our star that still burns bright, forever fixed and strong. Love did not end before it was begun, but warmer grew beneath our years of sun. Sandra M.

A very tender-hearted poem, Sandra. You use enjambment really well, always making your words feel quite natural. Afraid I'm not familiar with the song ...
