This everlasting section of our love,
tearing at our imagination,
the joy, sometimes pain kicks us
with the force of a landslide,
then . . . just as suddenly,
it retreats back where it is supposed to be,
within our hearts.

Like a highway stretching out for miles
across the immensity of the countryside,
we, being the only inhabitants
of this setting.
Are we so innocent in our desire,
as gullible as when we believed
in children's nursery rhymes?

My heart is glad with what lies in the future;
the past can be no less (or more) than it is.
Our dreams and love can warm February nights;
dreams some would like to destroy, but no!
they shan't take them from us, they will be
what they will be in hearts forever young.

Victoria, you do know how to swell my ego, and you do it so effortless. Thank you for that.
