Haunting Love

"A love so tender that it cannot be expressed 
                   in word and mak's the heart ache because of it.”   


              


                                  Sweet half-forgotten memories
                         Resurrected with the whisper of your name
                               A love that could never be tamed
                                              Wild and free
                        My magnificent obsession, my eternal flame
                 Etched upon my heart a love that cannot be written, 
     A haunting that grips my heart with a palpable waves of longing
                      Inevitably changed... never to be the same
