How Could I Have Known

My love how the years have come and gone we have almost outlasted time how could I have known you'd be with me forever you were my dream We loved each other as teenagers inexperienced with great trepidation we felt heaven that first date everybody said we were too young Was there ever a truer promise of forever so cherished it was that short eternity we spent in our youth I felt we were masters of our world I carry your brilliance in my forever memories What more can heaven offer me? that I haven’t experienced with you to love you has been a religion to me a love that in my youth needed to be released What more is there to love? what more can I expect from it? I have known the audacity of Love with you How much more Love can there be in the universe? The cynic will say There are many more loves to explore But I say to explore what? How about many more hearts to conquer? But not for me I reply I have tasted the gift of love from my life's love what more is there, I ask you? Nothing; only my gratitude to my generous God

Norberto, this would have been enough to make a beautiful poem. "What more can heaven offer me That I haven’t experienced with you You have been my guiding light The love in my heart" The rest was extra wonderfulness.
