Tried To Count

Tried To Count When I saw her she was so sleek And there together we started to speak Words of love we had for each other Now know what it means to be a lover. Love was strong and would not dwindle Strong as fire and another did kindle That still slowly would perpetually burn For each others love we always did yearn. Love leaped and kept growing and growing And like a full glass soon started overflowing As a liquid of our love had been put in Continually flowing over and over again. Even after we are old still to each other say Will love one another and it won't pass away But into and through eternity will live on Bright as stars and sun in next new dawn. Wouldn't you want to receive a love like this? Be overwhelmed and overcome by its bliss Until grasping and reaching for our dying days How long love lasted tried to count the ways.
