She was on her own, at least for me that is how I saw her. In the midst of that company, who swirled around like moths to a light, full of show and puerile trite.

My mind was pure, sacred and true. Love was there. It was in full view. I never spoke. I never dared in case she mocked and made a joke.

I stood for a while simply gazing on, not averting my gaze in case she was gone. My heart in my hand was heavy to hold, I must seize the moment before it grew cold.

We danced the night but never spoke the words that would ignite lovers playing at being one, but that was to wait for a chance before it had begun.

But chances come, and chances go. One must take them as they flow, past in a rush never to slow. Never to stop at a touch so close it could crush your very soul, your very being, your very sight, your very seeing.

Say the name of love before love is fleeing.

As a thrush does sing and the wind can roar,
So now I wish ‘tis only love I saw.
As the sun does rise and the night descend,
So the love that started would not end.
Slowly the love became our destiny
And that is how it should always be.

But what of death when it calls our name?
When that occurs, there's only life to blame.
Death does take the passion from love
But did we not touch the sky above?
We share no thoughts of desperate regret.
Ours was a love that no one could forget.

To smell the perfume of an unfurling rose.
To relive the moment when it was love you chose.
To know the sublime feeling of a summers night,
As you lay together until the breaking daylight.
