I'm a sucker for love songs
and movies set in the rain
Afternoon naps on a soft lawn
summer strolls down a lane
Being witness to alchemy
sweet transformations of love
Hoping one day it will find me
and fit my hand like a glove
To hear you breathe my name
and feel the love linger
Life will never be the same
sealed in gold on my finger
Promises in the past
that have left my heart broken
I am finding at last
truth beyond any words spoken
When the movie is over
and I am cleansed from my tears
Finding a friend and a lover
after all of these years

Love fitting your hand like a glove. Wow. That was such a surprising yet satisfying line. Bursting with your sophistication. Ooo I love how you intertwined life with gold on your finger, as in a ring. The desire to be wedded. That was such a smart marrying of meaning, into one line. Finding a friend and a lover. It's always good when he is both. Talking from experience, but wishing you the very same. Outstanding breathtaking work as always Kelli 🤗 ❤️
I believe that is what everyone would like to have in their lives. Good job.
To find a pure love, now that would be nice. Lovely, Kelli <3
