A Brief Forever
In the rush of a heartbeat, at twenty-four,
He found what he’d never been looking for.
Two lives colliding as their youth hit its stride,
No reason to wait and no reason to hide.
With the fire of their heart and promises deep,
They took a vow they intended to keep.
The first year was magic, a space for just two,
Painting the walls in a hopeful shade of blue.
They learned how to budget, to compromise, to grow,
Planting their dreams in a neat, narrow row.
The years turned to six—a steady, slow beat,
