The Starting End

I witnessed the Dance of unscathed hearts
Youthful,  new found love
Profoundly sweet, uninhibited dreams
nary an inkling they’d grow apart

Dreaming of love so ever serene
as they gaze past their teenage years
Into a future not  blinded
by sight of finale
that ends with shedding tears

I witnessed the Dance that came to the end
I witnessed a Dance devine
I witnessed a love familiar to me
a love like once was mine

So come as you are
first love of our lives
don’t know there’s a time to go
For as long as you’re here
our world will be right
as first pain we will not yet know
