For The Memories


I believe you from the day we first met

You never knew it, never really cared

It was destiny unexpected

It didn’t give time to prepare

I never thought I could love you this much

Nor will I love another this strong

I’ve given my all- body and soul

Left nothing to call my own

Love, double-crossing love

Making promises unkept

Butterfly kisses without feeling

Thinking of another, eyes a-wandering

Shall I trust you still?

Or will I follow my will

To look for the man I truly deserve

And who deserves me as well?

Shall one risk loving when it causes the greatest pain of all?

Will he continue loving when rejection comes in the end?

Will I still love you when there’s been another?

I don’t know, nor will I want to know.

Would you look at me still

When all my hairs turn gray

Or my eyes go blind

And the stars’ radiance fade?

Would you still hold my hands

When they’d be clammy and bony

Or arthritis plagues them

And renders them immobile?

Would you run your fingers

On my dry, wrinkled skin

With never a word of mockery

To ridicule my beauty’s state?

Oh, love, would you, could you

With all the love you had

From years ago, to take me

In your arms as you did

When you became my man?

To say you will is ecstasy unbound

An overwhelming joy of heart

Please tell me, love, you’ll do

Stay until my life is through.

To love you is life itself

To have not known you is death unprepared.

I would never tire of you

Because my love transcends time

Not even if the heavens burst

Not even if we both go blind.

I would hold you close forever

Closer still within my heart

We’ll always stay beside each other

No sorrow or sickness would keep us apart.

I’d love you all through life and beyond

And age shall never dull my passion

Though my tears turn to dust with the passing years

It’s you I’d still long to look upon.

I don’t want to fail you

I don’t want to be without you

Please be my strength

Please don’t give up on me.

My one true happiness

The only light of my world

My innocence and my hope

I am yours alone.

Every important thing I know, I learned because you loved me,

Without you I am lost, and tomorrow will never come.
