Eternal Breath

With bicycles and a big shoulder sling bag You were there, at the other side of my fence Throwing the paper toward me with a smile Awarded me with a wonder-stricken time lag I remember, you were ten and I was eight It was in 1940, our first met So soon later we allied And all these times, I always sure that it was truly a fate I remember, it was on an anesthetize Sunday morning You put a ring on my finger when I was just seventeen We started riding our life together in a rollercoaster of emotions For years you are my one and only paperboy prince charming Today, on your grave that is shrouded by Autumn leaves Knowing that our love surely went on endlessly I smile and take another breath in the eyes of eternity A splendor moment, for our memories, far away from griefs ~ Shirley Candy Indonesia, 11/05/2013 05.36 AM
