Lost Love and Eternal Love

Lost Love and Eternal Love

In the summer we'd meet and we'd sip iced tea,
and the waiter saw kisses as people passed;
as I whispered my feelings into your ear,
I was sure in my heart that our love would last.

Love can be a moment or an eternity.

Now the winter is here and your heart has closed,
all the warmth that we shared is now frigid cold;
and I wonder what changed; why I lost your love,
as I sit at our table alone and old.

Love can be a moment or an eternity.

In the fall we went for long peaceful walks,
hand in hand in lust, but still so unsure;
I wanted you to say, I love you dear,
then in time, you asked and I said, yes sir.

Love can be a moment or an eternity.

In the spring, so excited we married forever,
it was a perfect union and full of beauty;
and although God took you home one day,
our sweet love will last for all of eternity.

My senses in totality are in awe of your wonderful lines. Liquefied bliss from the boil of glorious words has brought out enchanting aroma beyond scaling. 7 is simply an underscore for this fine share.

Nice job. It is best to have loved and cherish the good memories than not to have ventured out and see it go one day. But we always have more love to give so rejoice in the time you have left.
