Never Ending Love Affair

white jasmine and lilacs

the sunset was hung

with purples and pinks

still I was quite young

the first time I met him

the last day of school

I was not looking

but he seemed quite cool

so demure, he was sitting

near the library door

somehow I never saw him

though I'd been there before

.....romance from him dripped

so I came back each day

and on that very spot

we would make love and play

he led me to feel

things I had never felt

he forced me to see things

with which I never had dealt

 since that first day I found him

this affair had begun

we shared sweet romance

Spring love

 Summer fun

nutmeg stories in Autumn

and soft winters haze

so I vowed I would love him

til the end of my days

nothing and no-one

 made me feel quite the same

I fell deeply in love

Poetry was his name

You have helped me open up to some degree and for that I thank you. It is rare to find some one who feels the same about things.
