We walked upon the beach
in the pale moonlight.
Held each other close,
beneath the stars that night.

We watched the sunrise
from the mountain top,
gave our love,
down to the last drop.

We walked in the morning dew,
made love as if it was the first time,
our love born anew.

We listened to the thunder,
as it brought about the storm.
Made love to match the lightning,
all firece, strong, and warm.

We walked beneath the october skies,
made love to match the wild
Autumn colors found there.

We watched the snowflakes fall,
on a cold winters day,
held each other tightly,
and loved the cold away.

We walked upon the beach,
my love and I,
and upon the beach,
we said good-bye.

This is truly beautiful!

Sven, I think our diaries are a lot alike. We live, we love, we learn, then we write.  

Thank you for the read. Sorry for the slow reply. Work you know.
