Forever Yours, And Mine

I was the extra until you,

sitting and pretending to care.

I was out with a couple, my favorite two,

and wishing I was anywhere else but there.

Sitting there sipping a drink,

pretending to be a part of my group,

all I could do is continually think,

until I looked across the room and I saw you.

A strange sensation came over me

as I continued to sit with my friends and listen.

My heart began to pound inside my chest,

my forehead softly began to glisten.

It got so hot in that crowded club,

and we sat separated by couples and people looking for love.

You sipped a fruity-looking drink,

sitting and watching the crowd.

I kept trying to move, getting to the brink,

before my inside voice said no, and said it loud.

Who is she, I continued to wonder,

the entire time, afraid to ask.

I'd try to know her but feared I'd blunder,

and I felt safer across the room and behind a mask.

Did you feel me, I questioned as you turned your eyes.

A smile and a gaze

and I was the luckiest of guys

as I watched you walk towards me, my world in a haze.

The closer you came

I realized I knew.

We'd been here before,

and this was round twenty-two.

I'd met you in Rome

when Caesar still ruled.

In a fifteenth-century home,

we still couldn't be fooled.

We'd been there before,

and returned to each other again.

We found each other in 1894

before The Ripper separated us again.

I could see it in your eyes,

my oldest dear friend.

We've shared a love that never dies,

a love with no end.

You looked deep into my soul

and asked if we met before.

With one kiss we were ready to roll

as we ran out the door.

Laughing like kids,

running away in the night,

it didn't matter what we did

as long as we never left each other's sight.

How long it would last,

neither of us knew.

Looking through the past,

it was no secret that I would always love you.

Together until the end of all time,

I was yours and you were forever mine.
