Nothing could stop me.

A old poem found. Written in the eighties.

Nothing could stop me...

Nothing could stop me from seeking you. A gentle Summer breeze caressed my face, warning me of a new journey to touch.

Nothing could stop me from following you, walking near the small lake. Your long blond hair flowing in the wind and the gesture of your walk, pulling me closer to you.

Not even the warning of my heart cold stop me. For when you turned and caressed me with your ocean blue eyes, so gentle.

I lost control of my mind, I lost control of my heart.

Not even the sweet love of another could make me walk away from you. For we already became twisted in a love, without one kiss.

Nothing could stop me listening to the tenderness of your voice. We talked of great dreams and travel. Somewhere in our conversation, we made a verbal agreement of wanting more.

Not all life is fair and we became one. Leaving tears for others to cry alone.

I learn. Nothing last forever. Even the sweetest kiss can become bitter, even the greatest love story. May have a sad ending.

Somehow we forget the sweetness of love and we learn. Nothing last forever. For when the heart is young, we don't know. Love is rare and so sweet. We allow our best days to become. Midnight wishes to repeat.

Nothing last forever, except the memories. These become the poets and the writers lost places. Only remembered to pen and paper.

Tonight I want nothing, but maybe again to be unafraid. In sweet dreams, I can still be the young coyote seeking love, dance and song.

The starry eyed dreams of the young and the naive. And the sad understanding and wisdom that comes with experience. And the yearning that never leave us. It makes us to yearn for something beyond us.. even when it's no longer reachable. Your verse gives me lots of food for thought. Regards.

Thank you Akinlolu for reading and the comment. And I agree. Being young and in love. Some of our best days.

Even with all the heartbreak, I would do it all over again...nothing like feeling love, no matter it ends up doing to us...

What I get here is the recollection of a passionate love affair that resulted in others getting hurt. Like many such driven romances, though, the fire apparently cooled. The phrase "nothing lasts forever" occurs more than once, but that is understanding that has come later. When you're in the midst of the blaze, you can't see that. Nothing to do but chalk it up to experience.

You are right my friend. In the flame of love. Love is all we need. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Love is myth and tale my friend. We try to grasp and love is so hard to keep. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Hard to keep indeed...

But one must never give up...

If the other is truly worthy of our love.

You are most welcome, friend!
