Myth

Though forever seemed so far away A promise that we both chose We'd follow the rules that life demands And see how far it goes To live on love, our only plan How could we go wrong? As each day passed we grew apart Forever's not that long A million kisses gone to waste The product of a lie Love's a gift that's made to last It's not supposed to die We tried our best to see it through To rewrite history But now each time they write of love It won't mention you and me Though legend we were meant to be We'll ever be remembered with The likes of Romeo and Juliet Forever just a myth

I have just read all of your January poems Larry and they are all so sad. I hope that it is just the poet writing and does not reflect your life. I miss your mother-in-law poems. These are beautiful but as I said, so sad. Love, joyce

Larry, you have a gift, words I understand, presented in such a way, although of a sad passing of love, also of the understanding of what it should be. thank you! x Peace, Ruby
