These Years

These Years

The heart has walked through too much confusion, felt too much sorrow.

Love has wandered through too many longings, drifted too many times.

The heart has endured too much melancholy, carried too many true words.

Love has stretched across too much time, witnessed too many pasts.

The heart has trembled through too many fears, burned in too many flames.

Love has ignited too many fires, lost its way through too much hesitation.

In these years,

We met without expectation.

In these years,

We sighed without end.

In moments that stirred our hearts,

we gazed with deep affection.

In moments that stirred our hearts,

We desperately tried to escape.

In these passing years,

We left behind permanent memories.

In these years,

We walked through tearful longing and silent cries.

In these years,

We traced the footsteps of true love.

In these years,

We forgot ourselves,

and buried each other deep in our hearts.

Loving you is a river of difficulty,

Loving you is a path full of stumbles and bumps,

Loving you is a vow etched deep in the heart,

Loving you is a depth that will never waver,

Loving you is the pair of eyes that never vanish,

Loving you is a clarity that never changes
