POEM: Our journey

It’s been sometime I wrote a poem for you, one may feel the passion has dimmed,

Sweetheart, love is matured now, its manifold, the glass has brimmed.

There were of course times we felt, it would fall apart, we shall never meet,
Years of patience and endless pain, so many memories bitter and sweet.

We know now, it’s not all smooth, there are bumps, as time takes wings,
Love's not something mammoth and huge; it’s just a million little things.

We enjoyed and laughed on the way, then we fought and we cried,
We did all that could be done; we beat the odds and changed the tide.

Then there were some rays of hope, we convinced all and everyone,
Embarked on a journey five years back, but we know, we are not done.

We now have more horizons to meet, have many more struggles to win,
With the power of our love and not aim for the skies, would now be like a sin.

There have been friends, there have been lovers. All their stories nice and bright.
But have there been two like us? A story like ours? Well, not quite!

I am no "secret admirer"; love you each day with the morning dew,
A zillion times is not enough, so here we go, "I LOVE YOU"!
