For Better, for Worse

It all begun with a smile…

Love established itself into our hearts,

Leisurely capturing the bottomless veiled yearning for companionship,

Replacing the ancient aches and pains,

Arousing sweet pleasures,

Causing us both to smile…

So effortless, so spontaneous,

Like magic,

Like a swift waft on a muggy summer morning,

Like the rain drops on the sands of Sahara,

Like, Like, Like nothing words can explicate…

The unexpected rush,

The coquettish giggles,

The candid naivety,

The understandable innocence,

The irreplaceable joy,

The unfathomable longing!

Our eyes close and our lips convene,

Our arms entangle around each other,

Our hearts communicate in a language only they understand, and

Our knees give in to the chills…

We squander hours murmuring those lines we share,

Hopeful that time will revere this serenity

We get closer, nervous to let any distance separate us

And listen to our song…

“you are my one more chance I never thought I’d find, you are the one romance I’ve always known in my mind, no one will ever love me more, I only hope that in return, I might have saved the best of me for you…”

Oh!

The splendor of these lyrics brings water to our eyes, tears of love, tears of belonging, tears of peace, for finally we have found a warm comfortable home to lay our heads.
