Even Though

My love for you

Grows deeper and deeper

Oh so dearly

Even as the years pass by

I want to hold you

Especially on the day of our Anniversary,

I never thought that I could feel

So much love for anyone

But you changed all that

When you walked into my life

And held me when I was alone,

Eighteen years of togetherness

That didn't grow old

We shared so much

Hand in hand

Arm in arm

Heart to heart

Soul to soul,

But it's sad right now

Because that togetherness

We allowed to fall

To the depths of the ground,

But even though

I still hold a special place for you

In my heart

And no matter what the papers state

It's still quite clearly

I love you more and more

And though the years pass

I still want to celebrate

With you on our Anniversary.

ouch...this is almost too sad to bear. i love the buildup of love and respect over the period of 18 years and the fondness which goes with familiarity, but when i saw those words "the papers" my heart leapt into my throat, for i know all too well what that means. great write...

[Tarry Franck]

Yes it is sad and thank you for understanding.

Nice to know love still lasts that long...so hopeful, so inspiring...

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you and yes in my case it does last that long. No matter what we have been through I love him unconditionally. And the best part is that he knows it.

Its bittersweet. Bitter because it is no more and sweet because you have the rare gift of appreciating the wonderful times spent together. 18 years is a long time and it would be easy for you to be bitter about it but you didn't and I respect that. This is a beautiful poem and I enjoyed it.
