Forever love

Love Forever

I can still remember in vivid detail the first time we met after

work it was a beautiful night and there was a smell of stale

green beer and pretzels because it was Saint Patrick’s Day

I guess some kind of Irish saint who drank a lot anyway I showed

up not knowing what to expect yet I felt something was about

to change my life and it did as I came around the corner

you were standing there more beautiful than I could have ever

imagined when my eyes found yours they said out loud WoW

yours said yes like you could see straight through to my soul

and was answering a question so we got a little bit closer until

our lips touched and we kissed like we were the only ones there 

just as lightning lit up the skies while thunder was booming from 

within our pounding hearts as dark clouds covered up the

then the light from the moon and stars disappeared that’s

when the Angels looked down covered their eyes and blushed

as our demons too were thinking way too much as they were all 

becoming all hot and sweaty as we got closer and closer as we 

danced together in the rain that was falling as our way was lit 

by a million fireflies you and I stayed perfectly cool spinning 

round and round like the earth and the moon around the sun as just

that memory lives in my heart and carries that love we used to

know and I know you told me that your love for me no longer exists 

in your heart or soul but how can that be for love is supposed to

last forever and believe it or not all that love does last

past forever in all the memories and photographs that shows

our past like it used to be when we both loved each other in

the moments that God had given us frozen in those faces from 

memories in the photographs taken in the past when love existed 

in all of us.
