after a lifetime together

Friend, I have your back.
Standing strong preventing pain.
As always, I stay.

Loyal to the promise made.

Eyes 
Met in 
The dark night
Saying without 
Pronouncing love words
The desires in the hearts
Silencing the bloomed felings
Walking away with no return
Preventing hurting the beloved

Wonder how many bananas I've eaten in my lifetime
Must be astronomical, well probably a few more than nine

Change is a coming
So the saying goes
No preventing it 
No disclose

Be it a  blessing or curse
Often enhancing
Often rendering worse

Change is a coming
An inevitable destiny 
Endlessly evolving
What will be 
Will just be …..!...

Positioned at the end of a line
Or
Between one line and another
Preventing confusion and clutter
A traffic cop
Signaling to stop
Fewer mistakes made
If more attention paid
The sentence not written by me
I knew where I should be
End of story...period

Avoid falling in one way feeling.
...Preventing the painful heartache; linked to
The mysterious ways of love.
