Love Persists on:
Life is but a dream within a dream.
Bitterly short, painful at times, yet in others remarkably sweet. A fluttering stirs within my heart, rising with each passing beat.
Tears spilt down as his memory once again crossed my mind.
Never once has this notion failed to fasten my heart into a bind and elicit shivering quivers throughout my spine.
Lord, how often I've prayed to rewind the hands of time; even if only within my mind.
Vision fades though I still clearly perceive his unforgettable face, bound to my memory it never decays.
Love unrequited lives far beyond mere decades...it never ceases...not for a second nor even after I've released my last breath.
Love persists on, even in death.
