It wasn’t what he’d thought it was And never would it be The ease with which his mortal self The ease with which he’d see Tomorrow turn to yesteryear And yesterday to now And when they turned he held her hand And whispered with a vow A vow that would see them become A couplet … Continue reading A lesson
