A Magic Time

Wrinkles happen,
we're not Hollywood starlets who have the unlimited resources to appear younger, the best trainers, costly surgery, chemicals to take away flaws.
We are all helpless to prevent the problems that come with age and our genetic predisposition.
What we can do, and control, is the willingness to take the risks, necessary to be together.
Learning from the mistakes we've made over our lifetimes.
Returning to a time of innocence, when our hearts were free to love,
and our spirits unfettered by distance and time.
A magic time, 
when the rest of the world didn't exist.
Only our connection that felt timeless, 
and never ending.
Happiness that amazed when our eyes met again,
registering on our faces,
originating from within.
