Eternally Together

As flowers bloom in springtime
To garland nature's glow ,
I know you now remember
Such beauty long ago .

And you must hear the music
Around our favorite song .
Calling back our memories
We've held for oh so long .

For as you might remember
They always came in rhyme ,
The links that held together
Our love for all this time .

Our love theme song , 'Forever',
Compelled a warm embrace .
And humming love between us
Charmed both our souls with grace .

A tear-stained love embittered ,
Was never ours, and thus ;
No rhymes of love concluded
Were ever penned by us .

We parted just like strangers ,
Who meet while passing by .
We knew and loved each other ,
And neither was a lie .

Foretold by us that springtime ,
We'd meet again someday ;
Now , having done our duty ,
Prediction has its way .

For now, we've come full circle .
It's springtime once again .
I think I hear our love song ,
Just as I did back then .

I know you now remember ,
A smile is on your face .
A brilliance seen that springtime
That time just can't erase .

So now , by our endeavor ,
We'll have our one last fling .
Eternally Together ,
Resumed once more in spring .
