Once again
She gulps down the pain
Forcing back the tears
Trying to refrain
Because love is worth
A river of tears
Especially if you overcome
All those miserable years
She knows she must stay strong
And not give in to defeat
Because she loses so much
When she decides to retreat
And with fresh determination
She’ll face each new day
Overflowing with fortitude
She’ll never go astray

Blissful
Happy
And sometimes sappy
Weird
Strange
Never deranged
Interesting
Bizarre
Amazing the way you are
Nerdy
Dorky
Devotedly quirky
Witty
Funny
Never to be outdone-ee
Devoted
True
Positively perfect you

Pulsing flashes
In lunar blue
Reminds me of nights
Spent with you
The electricity surges
And the sparks fly
With no known method
To quantify
A pensive mood
Brings your essence near
As the reflection of your face
Ignites a tear
Another sporadic flicker
Illuminates the sky
Reviving untold memories
Of you and I

His eyes they sparkle
Like the shining sea
Whenever he smiles
Looking at me
And I blush in response
To his mischievous grin
Oh the heap of trouble
We often get in

With such little time
I must break free
Of all the darkness
Surrounding me
For light and love
Are surely near
The fact of that
Will soon be clear
