TRUE LOVE

 

Their story has its beauty…a wonder…like all love stories do….

It also has its share of tragedy…heartache and sorrow too.

 

They met…they fell in love…both knew it in their heart…

but life and its unpredictability…kept the two of them apart.

 

It would be years until they’d meet again to share a love long overdue

as the embers that burned long ago…began to flame anew.

 

For five years they were inseparable…sharing the same time and space…

For five years the smiles they rekindled remained upon their face.

 

They were happy, they felt fortunate…every sunset was more vibrant…every bird song amplified…until the day his heart gave out…while seated by her side.

 

She was devastated…at how fate had separated them in the beginning…

and how time took him in the end…

and she knows deep within her heart and soul…she will never love like that again.

 

She has days when her eyes still fill with tears…days when she is sad…

while other days she’s happy for all the time they had…

 

Which means most days in her heart…there is a joy…a jubilant relief…

for in her life she has known true love…even though it’s time was brief.

 

Her message:

If you’re lucky enough to find someone with whom all your thoughts and feelings rhyme

do not waste a minute…because we’re all on borrowed time.
