Nothing Is Forever

I love this woman Only her face do I see When we make love It`s the way it should be You were 18 I was 22 One night in my arms Next day said I do You said forever I said the same Believed our love would burn Like the eternal flame Bought a big house For you and I In loving arms Till the day we die You say you love me You say you care Impossible to believe A woman with more than one affair Never love a woman With 2 faces She breaks your heart in all the wrong places

This seems like a very sad one, Richard. Gosh you were so young. I am surprised to find one of yours I had not yet seen!!! Took me a while to find this.

Not sad..Just it is what it is...Love affairs come and go....Good friends are forever..The trick is to put them both together...Unfortunately, or fortunately, many love affairs but very few good friends...Take care Andrea Your friend Rick

I had no idea of what Iwas going to read, but I am a strong beliver that - nothing is forever. I also believe that things happen for a reason. maybe you were too good for her. Life don't end here. You have a long way to go. Thanks for sharing....... Lucilla

Richard, a lovely poem, you did well on describing a womens double face and form... deep verse, and broken emotions.~ PD
