Can you remember our first time together, You wanted a lover, I needed a friend, Now we are lovers and still we are friends, My Winter has come to an end. I've been through summer, it's hot and dry there, Autumn, my hopes like leaves slowly fell, Winter was cold, there was no one to hold, The day I met you was the first day of spring in my heart. Walks on a starry night, waves mirror moonlight, Smiles slowly growing, hearts drumming wild, Eyes meeting, cheeks touching, lips rendezvous, Is this imagination, can it be true? Picture the moon on the last night of winter, Watching as dawn gives birth to a flower, I am the moon and our love is a young rose, The day I met you was the first day of spring in my heart

That love was all three, for nearly two years (an eternity to a 20-year old). Enjoyed your phrase "love love!"

I'm wowed by your wow, Michelle! I wrote this in 1980. Thought it might be nice to help steer some focus away from current events for a moment. Hugs/John
