evermore (repost)

Though day bleeds into day and all grows old

though darkest night now ever closer seems

I cannot help but speak to you so bold

while whispr'ing words of love as if from dreams;

Twas not so long ago our eyes first met

or far the day eternal love was vowed

when burdens of shared life were not ours yet

Nor heads beneath the weight of sorrow bowed;

The days of strife and anger are now gone

behind us days thought never to survive

our ugly duckling love became a swan

so "we" and "us" yields joy to be alive;

In sleep entwined we feign what is to come,

our hope to be found thus when we succumb.
