I think of those days I was rapt - "so deep the bond we lovingly forged - feel you beside me our lips engorged".

A well of love - "What of thou and I? where on Earth shall we begin? - To continue some connect, discover love amidst the din".
70. Fudge
Too much romance for one night. But the flow is coming better. Wait till you reach 2020 :)

A poem that begs us to brood not in the past (when we were in love). "I know its not easy but on letting go, we're choosing life - And not dwelling unnecessarily on highs from our past - Letting go is healing, the past cut away as by a knife - Instead we focus on the now and build a future to last"

The hills beckon me where I would walk in woods. Holding you beside me, each couple with their broods.

On a patch of grass on the same side of a slope. So that we may grow in the melody of one another. Good water! That harbinger of plenty, and hope, Let me find you so we'd have each other for tether.
446. Entwined
I grew up dreaming that lovers ought be entwined. And enmeshed, totally inside each other's heart. Have I found that sort of love? Believe it I'm inclined. For this time I've loved you mad, right from the start.
