Love and Eternity: XXIII

XXIII
“The bestest thing that ever happened”

The bestest thing that ever happened to me
Happens to be smaller than me
Even so she loomed big in my life
Big as the sun that shined so bright
Everyday we'll talk and chat
Summer heat and badminton practice
Things to pack and food to eat
Everything we could possibly think

Suddenly it seems that all might end
This wonderful thing that came to me
The fights and petty arguments
Hovered over our happiness
In time the fights turned ugly
Never a day without a shedded tear
Giving gloom where once was cheer
Can it be that this is the end
Over a year of ardor spent
Undone by careless cracks and dents
Love forevermore what became of you?
Deadened by indifference
Overtaken by fatigue,
Now we've gone way out of league

Love, don't go
You don't know how much I'll miss you so
Being alone out in the cold
Ever missing your sweet tender soul
You, love, are everything to me
One love that nowhere else I'll ever see

Until time ends my love bears immortality
My soul shall bear it eternally
Your image forever embedded within
Deep in my heart your name sounds
Echoes like daggers that pierce it hard
All I could say, and all I could do
Reminisce about the days I've spent with you
Ending it will be too much
Even now I miss your gentle touch

Sweet love, my love, don't ever go
Against all odds we can survive this woe
Hold me now, until time itself passes so
