Long Time Ago

That azure day, a starlit eve of spring, long time ago
I realized at last, irrevocably
that I would love that slip of a girl all my life
that no-one else would be her way one with the land, 
a part of the landscape
the forest natter of none in the same way

Long ago, when I could hardly foresee
what it would require and with interest claim
and that love for that blue-eye
would measure me relentlessly, without residue
