~For The 'This Is How I Remember it' Challenge~

A New York State of Mind collides with Northwest Southern Comfort...

Two souls magnetically drawn through physical attributes & a shared faith in God; mutual soul attraction that felt like a lightning rod...

A fire & a water sign unite; both in love with being right...

Heated debates & froyo licks; interactions as erratic yet exciting as an adventuresome excursion on a pogo stick...

Fiery words... then forgiveness & a forehead kiss; cherished moments of unbridled bliss...

Strolls in the park; bible studies that left their mark...

Unequally yoked in nature, yet attraction beyond 10... Lord, please allow me to feel this type of dynamic connection again...

    Your poem is full of passion, contrast, and yearning. I feel the intensity, the love, and the prayer in every line.

    I like the way you played with personalities, intertwining the magic and surprise that they bring, into words. Bringing you both together, yet apart by the need to both be right. Fiery words turns to forehead kisses. The need for romance, but wisdom wins. I really do hope you can get this again, but with God in the midst so that even though hard, the way would be led through wisdom and understanding. Then those fiery moments could be softened, delayed, spoken life into so that it blows away into worship, prayers and devotion. This was very well written Tiffy, I love, love and I love reading about love ♥️🤗
