forever & always

March 15, 2018

when we grow old
will we still whisper
"i love you's"
into each other's ears?
would our hands still
entangle into
tight embraces
refusing to let go?

would our love
dwindle
like snowflakes
disappearing
into thin air
becoming ashes of
burned love

when we grow old
& too tired
to open our eyes & speak
i wish for our hearts
to continue beating
the same rhythm of
"i love you's"

The author's comments:

While sipping coffee in the middle a busy mall, I look around at the people passing by me, the couples more specifically. I notice how love has no age. That's when I got the idea of writing something about eternal love. Yet even when love is eternal, love will have doubts because nothing is ever perfect.
