More Than a Valentine

You may love someone though parted By many miles and many years, And that love remains like a Lovely tulip opening and closing With the dawn and the dusk. Years pass and life goes on. . . But that love is never forgotten. It glows with a golden light Within the heart. Letters need not be written, Words need not be spoken. Thoughts are enough to sustain that love; Thoughts, and memories shared. When I light a candle, it is for you In remembrance of the burning embers Of our love that will never grow cold, Even as we grow old. © 2013 Connie Marcum Wong

Lovely Connie, the human being is capable of memories and feelings that go with them and you've expressed the essence of it so beautifully. Are you having a dry spell as I am?
