Together, we'd swim the depths of our souls,
splashing and playing in love's limpid pools.
And we'd adopt each other's hopes and goals,
love-struck teenagers and romantic fools.
Holding hands, we'd stare at the stars all night,
stealing kisses when no one was around.
And we'd ogle the sky until first light,
watching shooting stars fizzle earthward bound.
And we felt we were both blessed somehow,
confident our love would last forever.
But it didn't; that was then, this is now,
and we no longer believe in never.
Living is a time capsule in itself,
where childish dreams collect dust on a shelf.
