Love that stands the test of time.

Definitely

your lips would say
that have weathered every storm.

It was worth it.

Your eyes reflect upon
many a reminiscence.

Is worth it.

Every ominous sky
that has loomed before us.

Always

the sky in radiance
contemplates your smile.

Eternal

as the echo of a heart
fleeting the wind.

Forever

your touch impels.
Giving moments reborn.

No word could say,

lips forever craved
what fingertips have become.

What you mean to me

my shadow
ever unquestioning companion.

So I say

with tongue untangled, words
that in despair could never come.

I love you.

what time has weathered
became strength within the storm.
