Love forever

I was ready to give up
the day that i met you
didn't care about love
nothing to me was true
my soul was dark and empty
my heart was black as ice
even when i met you
i never thought twice
about the possibilities
how happy i could be
eternity together
how wonderful it would be
weekends at the lake
picnics in the sun
spending time together
two souls becoming one
a wedding by the ocean
a house upon a hill
happiness surrounds it
my heart to never still
growing old together
a lifetime now has past
as i lay beside you
the memories they are vast
fifty years together
a daughter and a son
and as we lay side by side
two hearts beat as one
flash back to the present
in your arms safe and secure
thinking of the future
and what we can endure
never give up on love
or the life that two can share
never close your heart and soul
because love is always there
