Everyone laughed, 'A younger man?' 'By how much?!!' Jealousy,Envy, even Pity, abounded. I was surrounded, By doubters. Waiting for me to fall. Well, I did. We tied the knot, It felt forever, An adventure into the Land of never. Oh! how we loved right from the start, couldn't stop the beat of our Hearts. ''You maybe older then me'' He'd say, ''Beauty undiminished You don't look a day, older.........'' It didn't bother him, then. He really gave me his all, in words,writing, lovely cards, whole being, in thrall. We were so happy at the start. I never tired of gazing at his face, incredible Grace, His sureness of pace. We moved and traveled, all over the place, two Nomads seeking a secure haven, to be. Here, there, everywhere, no cares. I managed it all, Never thought I would fall. Then one day we kissed, It was wanting, His cell phone rang, the sound was haunting, strangely. No one there, He said, Yet had murmured in a language yet to be learnt, by me. Slowly by degrees, He slipped from my arms, took his Heart with Him, to bestow upon, who knows? some others? Lovers? I clung on and on, not seeing the truth, that somehow, I was deceived, then bereaved finally, by this youth. for the loss of Him. I don't regret it, not a day, I'd chucked  all that came before, for Him. But worth it, happy from the off, in between. Thankful for what we had, What has been, Now gone.
