In Another Time

In another place at another time perhaps, our worlds may collide. We would fall in love and our lives would be as we imagined our "us" when we were teens and thinking of where we would wind up in life and who that special person not known yet would be. I would imagine and contemplate that you were my shining knight that, on horse, took flight to save me from the ogre who grabbed me and held me hostage because he loved me and chose me to be his. You would imagine and contemplate that I was your damsel in distress and I couldn't be saved unless you took the reigns galloped your horse as fast as you could and would save me from my destiny. You were truth and honor I was the virgin of purity together we were a duo of honest, brutal, constant, decency a pair to be noticed and adored not abhorred by the evil who would steal our innocence and kill our as-we-thought undying love of each other. Today, we are dead our legacies, our love for each other and the memories our children share and the care that we designed for our family are their precious heirlooms to always hold dear and near to the heart.
