Within her thoughts she lingered
long after they had gone their separate ways,
day after day
her heart ached
for things to go back to how they were,
for the hands on the clock
to turn back
to the days when she would smile
when she woke each morning
her princess's face clear in her mind,
and turning over she would see her lying beside her
and the feelings that ran through her soul
words could not justify
nor adeqautely describe.
Hour upon hour she occupied her thoughts
her daydreams
her hopes for what her future would hold
and staring at the empty chair
where once she sat
her heart broke all over again
and ached to be with her love once more.
Sometimes they would see each other
in the street
and something would pass
between them,
a feeling
they were both sure they had lost
under the grindstone of other people's
small minded beliefs.
That had been the reason
they had to part
at least that was the reason
her girlfriend had given her,
she couldn't do it anymore
coudn't cope with her parents silence
her friends dissaproval,
the feeling of being so utterly alone
where ever she went
so she ended it
and when she did that
she had broke both of their hearts.
Staring at the phone hollie wondered,
wondered if she should ring her
tell her that it didn't matter what other people
thought or said
so long as they were happy.
How many moments of happiness
would one truly find through life
and was it really worth
throwing away that chance
beacuse other people
were too blinkered to see
that real love
was not about gender
or age,
it was about the heart
and nothing else,
about two people
finding something within themselves
that previously had been missing.
Her hand hovered over the phone
and a silent tear ran down her cheek,
the door knocking
making her jump,
gathering herself together
she tried to put on a brave face
to smile through the pain
so no one would know,
but the facade fell
when she saw
her girlfriend standing there
bedraggled and wet
her clothes stuck to her,
"I can't do this anymore" she whispered thorugh
a haze of tears;
"i can't be without you...I don't care what other people say,
all I want is to be with you right now....I love you....I have always loved you"
and as the rain fell down
they kissed
and the world fell back into place,
their hearts began to beat again
and they swore that nothing would ever tear them apart again.
Years later that love still burns as bright as it did
on that damp and cold night
so many moons ago,
proving to all
that love real true love
is without end
and like a pheonix
rising from the ashes again
and again
it never fades
nor dies,
real love is magical
Real love is genderless, it comes
Without conditions
Without labels
Without colour,
Real love is endless and
Timeless,
Like an eternal rose
It never withers or dies .. .
Real love is magical...
And beautiful...
real love lasts forever.
