I don't believe in Love, especially true love.
But, I have loved that girl since the day I first put my eyes on her.
I'd kill any man who ever caused her harm.
I'd fight an army to be by her side.
For many years she lived in my memory, my recollections.
That was after she left.
I held on to little snapshots of her, though I knew they no longer looked like her anymore.
I held on to memories of when I brought her back to health, selflessly giving of myself.
Unseen circumstances drew everyone's world apart, oceans apart.
But, oceans receded and those memories that I needed were replaced with new memories.
Lives changed and different paths were taken.
Along the way many promises had been broken.
Things were created and destroyed.
There still remained a void.
A void only to be filled only by the one I have loved since the day I
first put my eyes on her.
