Love Story

~~**~~~
As a child I would sit and cry. Pray to God for a way out at night. Along came a boy who changed my world. I knew from the start you were the one. Everyone said it was not love We were too young to know of that. I was 16 and you were 18, we were just children running wild and free. Spending every minute together, Felt Like I was living in a love song. With every beat of my heart our love grew strong. We became one on that faithful September day I took your hand and knew everything would be ok. You were my rock and I loved you so much. Nothing would have torn us apart. Years have passed by and times have changed. I went my way and you stayed the same. Feels like we are living in two different worlds. Never did I see this coming down the road. Always thought we would love forever When will our hearts collide again? When will we feel like more than friends? I hope this isn’t the start to the end. I hope we can find the love we once had When that boy came along and changed my life Sweeping me off my feet on that warm summers night. We cuddled under the stars so bright. Holding tight hoping for the night to never end As we became more than just friends.

a riveting write free spirit with all the emotional power conveyed.. I was 15 and my first boyfriend/hubby was 18 when we met and it was instant love... it lasted for 12 years but then he changed and after five sons he could not grow any more and I soared beyond him and that was the end..so these words fit me so well ... but we are friends now and it's OK with my current hubby.. for the sons sake..luv..excellent..one of your very best ...buddy..
