UNTIL THE END OF TIME
The first time we intertwined
It was as if fate brought us together
Yet unattached by God
To lead down different paths
Two totally different destinations
But as time went on
These paths
Would intertwine once again
So innocent how it began
Childlike giggles and smiles
Two friends mingled together
Been together ever since
To understand the silent cries of a heart
To craddle these emotions like you would a child
To nurture and grow feelings like a delicate rose
That’s the kind of love we bring
That’s the kind of love you show
Deliberately caress my curves
Hold me close until time runs out
Every gesture is an act of dedication
To a promise only two can attain
To make a pact
To never let the other fall
There to uplift you when your armor is weighing you down
Shielding one’s beating heart from punctures of
Betrayal, deceit, and pity
Placing my petals evenly on your mantel
Never forgetting how I shed these petals to leave you alone with a piece of me
A keepsake of my love
Keep me close in your prayers
Ask God to heal parts of me I won’t reveal
For I am aching in ways your gentle eyes couldn’t dream of
For if they were revealed
That childlike Innocence would escape your eyes
For some things are better left unsaid
But I speak to you in soliloquies
Praying you catch every hidden cry for comfort
As you hold me close until time runs out
Wake me with the softest kisses
Stare into my eyes as they flutter open like butterfly wings
Study me like you would a glass sculpture of a goddess rising out of water
Greet me with the nuanced touch from your gentle fingers
All over my body
Hold me close until time runs out
But time will never end for us
For our love is everlasting
Eternal
Is the notion that this love will never break
Nor bend nor shatter
For this love is plexiglass strong
Our love could never be steered wrong
For outside chatter never mattered
Hitting the acoustic panels of our ears
Never breaking us down
For this love could only be moved
Because of conflicting propositions
My peace being disturbed
My sanity taken through trials and tribulations
The sincerity of my love questioned and forsaken
But not this love
No
For this love is everlasting eternal
So hold me close until time runs out
