Love's Limpid Pools
In our youth, we'd swim the depths of our souls,
splashing and playing in love's limpid pools.
And we would share 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 streaking earthward bound.
Back then, we felt we were both blessed somehow,
confident our love would last forever.
And yet, it didn't; that was then, this is now,
and we no longer believe in never.
Memory's a time capsule in itself;
where innocence collects dust on youth's shelf.
