Eternal New Years Love

Reminiscing about New Years eves of the past. Lost in a reverie of what could have been and what came to pass. Thinking about a New Year's Eve not so long ago, never knowing that a simple twist of fate would change my life forever and time would move so fast. Dancing in the Square with lifelong friends under a neon ball My would be husband not a care in the world, In the blink of an eye soon everything I knew would change and I would fall deeper in a love I would never understand All because he smiled at me and took my hand. Loves lost would float away in silence and I would be in an enduring love and unpredictable life My girlhood eclipsed as I became his wife. My present and future interwoven with his forever and a day long My dreams unfurled and my soul enmeshed, my heart filled with song The struggles and triumphs United as one Wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong. I never would have guessed that fateful day what it felt like to love someone so much your heart can be torn Their moods, their life, entwined, a shared life, a fated love at a moment can be reborn. Imagine if I had taken a different path that night Had instead made love, not war, and continued the insipid fight I wouldn't know the love, devoted commitment I still strive to understand Because my soul mate wouldn't have taken my hand.
