A Love Story

                                                  

We were young

Not much more than a child

We thought we knew it all then some

We set out to conquer the world

For to us it was us against the world

Yes you were young but I was younger

We came from two different worlds

Your world full of love

My world full of hate

Your world full of peace

My world filled with violence

We were different for the most

In only one way we were really the same

But with time that would change

I was younger in years but wiser in life

Others said for me you had nothing to offer

But they were wrong

You had something I never had

A humans love, A humans touch

A touch that showed so much love

Gentle, and sweet

But yet intoxicating

Others did not understand

In us I knew there was a bigger plan

To me you had been sent to show love

To you I had been sent to teach of another side of life

A side you would never see or live

But needed to know did and does exist.

Our two worlds, they did collide 

Apart we would never again be

Together we would learn

Each other we would teach

So out on the journey of life we did set

With full force life we did meet

Times were not always easy

Some times life set us off track

But together we always found our way back

Now together all these years later we still stand

Us being more than lovers, more than friends

We are something that only time can transcend

But here and now we remain

We have faced together many a trial and test

Made a few errors

But won many battles and will win the war

Together through it all

In the midst of it all

We have found hope

We have found peace

We have found immeasurable love
Together we are and will always be
