Eternal New Years Love
Reminiscing about New Years eves of the past.
Lost in a reverie of what could have been and what came to pass.
Thinking about a New Year's Eve not so long ago,
never knowing that a simple twist of fate would change my life forever and time would move so fast.
Dancing in the Square with lifelong friends under a neon ball
My would be husband not a care in the world,
In the blink of an eye soon everything I knew would change and I would fall
deeper in a love I would never understand
All because he smiled at me and took my hand.
Loves lost would float away in silence and
I would be in an enduring love and
unpredictable life
My girlhood eclipsed as I became his wife.
My present and future interwoven with his forever and a day long
My dreams unfurled and
my soul enmeshed, my heart filled with song
The struggles and triumphs United as one
Wrong becomes right and right becomes wrong.
I never would have guessed that fateful day what it felt like to love someone so much your heart can be torn
Their moods, their life, entwined, a shared life, a fated love at a moment can be reborn.
Imagine if I had taken a different path that night
Had instead made love, not war, and continued the insipid fight
I wouldn't know the love, devoted commitment I still strive to understand
Because my soul mate wouldn't have taken my hand.
