*****************
UNTIL  WE  LOVED
************************

I wondered many times
what you and I did until
we finally met and loved.
Before that day, our mouths still
drank the milk of growth and savored
Honeysuckle nector childishly.

It was then as I recall in youthful thought,
whenever any beauty I did see
I'd blow wishes on dandelions,
and lift my hopes to distant stars.
It was always for a someday dream
of meeting my true love.

And did you too have aspirations high,
to reach out for the goals that smiled at you
that made you climb hill after hill...
earning prizes all along the way,
While you were searching for your
...one and only.

Well that someday came and found
two waking souls in our destined meeting.
We saw each others image in each others eyes,
and in that instant we could see forever.
We felt each others heartbeat in our touch.
No longer were we two, but only one
which still makes me wonder......
'How we lived ...until we loved!'

Try as we might to rationalize.. We live an empty life without that special love.. Nicely done...
