A Year Long Story Poem by Kay Barcelon

January we met
Friends and families are gone
Holiday blues are slowly creeping
Quietness surrounds, stillness deafening
I met you, a pleasant unfamiliar noise

February we discovered
There is a new feeling of excitement
New things are heard for the first time
Learned that there is another world
A new friend during lonely times

March we liked
You and I develop dependency
From each other uncontrollably
Being keen on what we feel
Enthusiastic of the new beginning

April we laughed
We keep each other smiling
Laughed at the silliest things
Most ridiculous as it may be
Our spirits dwell in bliss

May we conquered
We settled our indifference
Formed a uniting bond
A promise we shall keep
Forever as each other’s friend

June we dreamed
We shared deepest thoughts
Our minds worked in harmony
We promised to make forever
Not far from certainty and reality

July we fantasized
Dreams became an obsession
Feelings far more powerful
Attractions are undeniably strong
Emotions never more compelling

August we loved
Our passions move in similar waves
Nothing else is more important
Creating a pleasurable numbness
Nothing else more addictive

September we planned
Being afar is no longer an option
Feelings crushed and devastated
The pain of distance is severe
We have to be together as one

October we bonded
Convictions were intense
Love was never the same
You and I shared the ecstasy
Life created a new beginning

November we promised
Together we vowed
Love will be forever
Joined in eternity
Never to ever part

December we celebrated
The day we met
Renewed the promise
Of love unpremeditated
But were meant to be
