my Young Love

You held me close as night danced us away
We welcomed the stars into our embrace
You gathered moonbeams into a bouquet
our love created a magical place.

We laughed and loved, life was so full of fun
We loved intensely, we had found our love
We celebrated our days in the sun
We fit together like a lambskin glove.

Just memories now of long-ago past
Our love was young, our lives free of all pain
Our forever love: too fragile to last
Your whispered love now a gentle refrain

Yet, I'll always love you, deep in my mind
The magic of our love: the rarest kind.

5th Place!
