In the deafening city streets
When the world seemed dull.
In the arid pathways
Where the people rapidly walked.
In the spotless mirrors
Why I saw?
A face I failed to recall.
Though I was standing still
The world seemed to have advanced
Then I fell.
Not to the ground
But into my thoughts
Where she was at hand
Awoken by the noise of passing people and vehicles
I was thrusted into reality.
All I wished for
Was to see her once more
Before my very eyes
Moonlit and radiating she would sit.
Frozen in the moment we would be.
To be by her side till the very last breath I breathe.
And "Forever & Always", whispering to her.
If I know what love is, it is because of you.
And I do love nothing in the world so well as you.
But the course of love never did run smooth.
