The poem I wrote for the story "Times long past" but posted here to so you it is actually a poem *g*

Thinking of times long past

Thinking of times long past

I allow myself to feel the remnants of emotions

Of feelings so sweet and strong

A love transcended by worlds

Formed in mind, thought and soul

A love binding me to him

And making both of us whole

Thinking of times long past

I recognize my past decisions

Resulting in outcomes both right and wrong

A friendship struggling for existence

Growing stronger with each day

But never past that single line

Because neither of us wanted it that way

Thinking of times long past

I remember how it felt

Not perfect, but always right

A memory buried beneath all others

To keep the pain under control

But always failing when he looked at me

When he saw right into my soul

Thinking of times long past

I recall the cards we were dealt

The odds against us impossible to fight

A bond long ignored

Nearly starved to death

But not once forgotten

Although of love, always bereft

Thinking of times long past

Tears fall down my cheeks

Silently trailing their tortured way

A soul made whole again

By the question he asked me

By the answer I gave him

And the wedding that will be

Thinking of times long past

I reflect upon the weeks

That led us to this day

A bright light shining in the distance

Flanked by our best of friends

A gateway leading to our marriage

And to the bonding of two loose ends

Thinking of times long past

I know that I am where I should be

Together at last with the one I call Imzadi

Thinking of times long past,

Is no longer important

Our future is shining brightly

And together we're going forward.
