Gazing into a starlit sky
my mind wanders to a time not so long ago.
A time of beauty yet a time of sadness.
As two strangers met
unaware of the love they would know.
At first the words were those of friendship.
Perhaps wanting more
but in fear their feelings were maintained
With each talk the feelings became more intense.
Then words of passion were exchanged.
Now, unable to hold back their desires.
The truth was finally known.
Through friendship an undying love had grown.
As one told the other of their desires
the intensity grew.
They wanted to be together but could not
for fear of the lives they then knew.
The fears of past loves gone wrong
placed doubt where faith should have been.
As a love of intense desire was cast aside
into what could have been.
As time past fear became the predicator
Thus, love became part of that fear
leaving sadness where beauty was once
turning happiness into tears.
The same undying love still lives
in the hearts of these two lovers
Both emerged in a world of uncertainties
never proving their love to one another.
This cannot be their fate.
Can this story not have a happy ending?
Where the past and all doubts are cast aside.
Then at last their beautiful love shall be ascending.
Perhaps,
he shall say the words she has longed to hear
Then,
together they could conquer all doubt and fear.
In knowing he cares
she shall put her faith in the love she has for him.
Therefore,
all else shall diminish
as the wonder of their eternal love transcends.
Thus, all does not seem to be as dismal
as I was first comprehending.
True love shall prevail
when all else fails
leaving love and happiness as their elated ending.
