when i say love, it's in the kiss that forever lingers on your lips, in the touches that promises not to fade. in my firm eyes, that wavers not. when i say love, it's a flower unplucked in the country side, Yet grown in my courtyard, blooming with enchanting colours of pink, red, emerald and orange when i say love, roses are red violets are blue with my heart staying true.
Ah, let me first and foremost echo @lifeinslomo and @sidusferam and their sentiment. It's so good to see you again! I had a little hiatus of my own, so there's no need to explain or justify. Just happy to see you back. 😁 I think the inversion of the classic trope at the end of this piece is extremely powerful. Overall, well crafted and emotional. High marks from me!
