Is love forever?
Oh!, don't wonder--just believe!
Love lasts forever!
When true, it won't pass away,
if false, it won't last ONE day!
Today, tomorrow,
"...this petty pace..."(+) of a life
leaves me wondering:
If we loved, why did it pass?
Was it false love, not to last?
My heart is SO strange:
you could not break it, Oh Love!
Loneliness?---It's JOY!!
Because I DID love you, true!
Because you said:"I love YOU!"
My mem'ries are SWEET!
Of you, our love, the promise!
Tears are sweet, too! SWEET!
How, Dear One, can I bemoan
a sweet, dire love, best I've KNOWN!?
Do NOT touch my face!
Do NOT lay your tender kiss
on my lips--NOT YET!
There is MORE than just "before";
there's MORE than loving: MUCH MORE!
We had ONE moment!
ONE moment to last EVER!
Let us imagine:
You breathe ME 100-yrs;
next century, I breathe YOU!!
((Let's start TONIGHT!!!))

This is very nice Teddy. I had read it before, but either I was not in the right frame of mind or stil to close to the poem I wrote, to which you refer.
Good job.
