The Pledge

Red roses wrapped in thoughtful memories radiate the glimmer of love and sweet caress. Her shimmering smile that blooms fuller than the full moon gives radiance to a gloomy afternoon. Candle lit dinner with a melody for two. Two hearts that became one to make their dreams come true. His promise was to be with her till the last of his breath. Her pledge of love, none could shatter, even death. As time passed by, their love kept becoming stronger, against the tides and all the storms, even if some storms came longer. The silver in her hair tells all the years that they've been through. She couldn't ask for more for he alone was her dreams come true.
