Love Poem: Forever

Forever

Forever

These words came.
Enslaved by anguish.

Empathetic words. 
That knows lost loves paths.
Endless enduring.
Painful rejections.
Unquenchable desire.
Numbness of heart
reaching inexplicable seasons.
Searching reason relentlessly. 
Unfathomable justifications.
Hoping beyond all hopes.
Approaching forever.

Until… You entered my trust
Unlocking freedom.
Bestowing new love.
Now, forever is...  We.
