Seven Years
Seven years
You and I have been through a lot since we
first met out on the streets when I was
searching for my lost son, and I wrote you
that first poem. I called it Blue, like the
color of your hair than from there, the
words kept coming as I started writing all
about you as you became my muse and
inspired me the most, causing me to write
the most beautiful romantic poetry that
I have written so, of course, we got closer
whenever we were together and when we
we're apart I thought about you all the
time knowing you were always just out
of reach. After that, I always felt that
falling in love with someone you can
never have, is like falling in love with
the moon and the stars, as you can see
their beauty, everywhere in the midnight
skies but can never fully grasp them or
hold them in your arms. it has been seven
years since I first saw you, and yet I still
love you today the same way I used
to love you back then, just as I will
tomorrow and all the days after that
and though, by the grace of God, you are
my wife now, we will always be friends
so it took eight years for our love to finally
grow together, intertwining, twisting,
like we were dancing the waltz around
and around on a hardwood floor, the
only band playing was you and I listening
to the pounding of a beautiful melody
of our two hearts beating the same
beat together as one while we got
lost in each other's eyes, watching a
movie of the rest of our lives looking
down deep inside, mesmerized by
the sight of our souls making love
and hearing them whisper the same
words that were on both our minds,
with not a sound being said, saving
our breaths on all those words we have
already heard it a thousand times
before starting the day, we were born,
only trained to say them, then repeating
back again, never knowing what they
really meant until those precious few
moments in time that God has given
us like the one we have today, allowing
those memories that will last forever
no matter what happens between you
and me until the end of days for that
is how long my love will last for you
even longer because I love you and
baby, I love you too.
