Passage Poem by Gwen S M Torres

think of love as a passage through time

... where you can be there for the past
nodding through all his pain
shedding tears to all his aches
gasping for breath to tight hugs he shakes

... where you are in the present
going through all his joys
living his life, being him in the end
seeing him through a veil of hope
and loving every moment

... where the future is where you go
carrying his burden for you to keep
shedding the tears that you once shed
nodding through all your pain
crying in silent agony in vain

love is a passage to all disappointments
for a love not well-thought through is of haste
yet it holds you and molds you..
and keeps you no matter how hard you break..
