Only Once

Promises from before time

kept through change of realm

complete two souls linked.


The joy of shared experience,

the days of laughing sun

end with dark loneliness.


But in quiet contemplation,

memory can be found

and warm the heart

while she waits for time

to end, and eternity to begin.


He waits she know, veiled

from sight but not her heart.
