Within the River's Flow

I remember how smooth the words seemed to flow from her ruby lips.
Nice sweet words like "I Love you" and "Give me a kiss."
You never had to say it twice.
Even before the words were thru I gave you one of a billion kisses I saved just for you.
I held you close and I promised you so much.
I wanted a lifetime to feel your warm touch.
What is time in a river where love flows?
When you were mine my love lived to overflow.
Now the words from your lips seem to hesitate.
A river that no longer flows seems to be my fate.
And I wonder if my love can still continue to grow
without those precious words within the rivers flow.

Beautiful said. Those magic words are very hard to say, as love matures.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

The river title caught me. The beautiful words held me.

To love another person is to see the face of God.
