Always My Love

A shadow covers her face, eyes tired with sorrow. 
Lost beyond space, longing for tomorrow. 
A broken heart, and a shattered mind. 
Where to start, what’s to find?
A promise of hope, rings echoing for ages. 
His yearning to elope, through tears he wages. 
Her fingers clasp his, and a desire remains. 
A plan as is, though it still pains. 
A beloved friend in need, a voice to be heard. 
A faith planted seed, holding to the word. 
An apologetic reply, he feels a need to die. 
He broke a promise, he broke a soul. 
With another kiss, he tries to remain whole. 
She is determined and true, a beauty I adore. 
As she says, “I love you”, he’s left wanting more. 
Memories of cheerfulness, and passions of youth. 
A future of fearfulness, searching for truth. 
He watches the night sky, hoping she is too. 
 A solemn goodbye, “For I’ve always loved you.” 
The future is a wonder, though they blissfully wait. 
Love strikes like thunder, a most welcomed fate. 
Stars dance and play, the world left in awe. 
As he looks to her and says, 
“I gcónaí, mo ghrá”

There is a great sense of love here. You really paint a picture with your words. What is meant by “I gcónaí, mo ghrá”?

Thank you, I love hearing this especially about this one. “I gcónaí, mo ghrá” means Always, my love in the Irish language.
