Pure and natural as dew drops glisten upon
the petal of a rose,
Love at first sight drew sparks to ignite a
fire of young passion,
such as Juliet and Romeo.
Needs and wants, desires and pain, unknown
forthcomings would claim,
their unchained hearts unable to part the
yearning of a forbidden flame,
A love so deep, two hearts, one beat,
existance only for one another,
to separate the flame sure death would bring
for one could not exist without the other.
