Late Afternoon - 8th Place

Love that came in late afternoon 
In his young eyes, a love was born 
He knew her charm would fade too soon 
And he would bear the mock and scorn 

But the young heart was persistent 
Her sweet smile tasted like sweet wine 
His love for her was consistent 
With her, he'd like to forever dine 

So, in the glow of the pitching dark 
Young and old souls sealed their love 
Stars from heaven made a spark 
The moon smiled from up above 

Against the rains and storms that came 
Their love was strong like a pillar of stone 
In years that passed, their love was the same 
Storms have made their love to hone
