If Not For Love Then What

Her She could feel his heart beating against hers.  Fueled by their love she drove a stretch of his fabric  and consumed his breath as if it was hers.                                                                       As they continued to touch lips she held on to him as one holds on to hope. Him For his part and without reservation  he believed that this union would last a lifetime  and beyond if possible.He knew that he would hold on  to this belief until his last moment. Us As outsiders watching we felt their sincerity.  We suddenly understood 'forever'.  A sense of our existence, our purpose. Love is all encompassing.  In this case two destined lovers, lovers for life.  Few experiences are more inspiring than that.
