Along a clear stream
Whose waters brightly gleam,
We sit together holding hands
Watching the distant rainbow bands.
Once a while we steal a glance
At each other, both in trance;
Wondering if all this is real
Or is it just the heart’s feel.
We hold our hands tighter
Lest one of us should disappear.
I lean on you and rest my head.
‘Love you very much’, I whispered.
‘Hold me tight, never let go’,
Your voice mumbled, very low.
‘Not as long as there is life,
Neither now nor in the afterlife.’
Our hearts made the promise.
Our lips sealed it with a kiss.
Although our bodies are not together
Our soul will be one, now and forever.
