When We Began to Love
When we began to love each other
I thought we’d love till death came round.
New lovers don’t see troubles gather,
immersed in two becoming one,
convinced they’ll be forever one mind,
one will, one soul, under the sun.
Romance breeds a cataract
that blinds the heart to common sense.
Yet love survives the setting moon
to thrive in the day. I’d resurrect
the giddy ecstasy of romance
with you, but you’ve found someone else
who fires your soul with a single glance
and mates his heartbeat with your pulse.
