The Time

Dedicated to the love of my life, Paige Beauvais.

In every love 

there is a time,

a time without doubt,

a time of passion,

the time you know.

The time where you know

you have found the one,

and you would give everything

for this one love.

The time you finally realize 

that love before was empty,

incomplete,

bleak,

missing things you couldn't see.

The time when you don't look to the future

because you know they'll still be there,

instead you cherish the moments

in the moment,

making memories as you go.

The time you stop questioning 

if you're really happy,

because you will have a joy,

a happiness surreal,

indescribable by words,

that will promise you you are.

And though you'll have your speed bumps

no love is ever perfect,

it's the little bits of dark 

that show you,

how bright your love really is.

It is the time when everything

just stops and waits for you,

to take those last few minutes,

not to say goodbye

but instead I'll see you soon,

because the future

doesn't speak goodbyes for you.

The time even when 

the whole worlds crashing down

and you think this will be the end,

the love holds up the sky

and hearts beat on,

hand in hand 

forever.

The time has come for me

and I know now undoubtedly,

I've found the one this time,

because I am no longer trying to find my life

because she is standing right in front of me,

making me feel what worlds can't say,

showing me what can't be seen.

When we are together

everything else is nothing,

but she is all I need,

to make me feel this is the time

Paige Beauvais, I love you with all I am,

this is our time.

I will love you through everything

and be who I need to be,

to show you this is our time

for us to be so free.

Dear LivingDeath,

This is a very nice poem, revealing an understanding regarding true love. And this is so nice that it is a poem intended for the one you love. Very nicely done. When you find it, true love is obvious, isn't it? So high marks on the poem. You carried this out quite nicely. Maybe now your moniker "LivingDeath" will have to be retired.

Now a few technical points about language.

First, your use of "surreal" in the 5th stanza is incorrect. The word "surreal" means "unreal" or so fantastical that it can't be true, that you know it is untrue. So I know this is not what you mean.

Second, your use of "undoutedly" in the 9th stanza is also inaapropriate. The word "undoubtedly" is never used in the first person. It indicates a confidence that something must be true, but not a certainty. This is not used in the first person because presumably you can make statements about yourself without uncertainty. So in the first person one uses "without a doubt" instead.

Very best regards,

Rick

This was brimming with truth and what I can only interpret as real love, I enjoyed it because I can fully relate to it at this time. Very well done, my dear. ;)

A strong poem of love and happiness. When the love is right. No better days in a life. I like the story and the very good ending. A excellent poem of love. Thank you.
