Eternal

She was the epicentre of his universe

as he was of hers

they were born to be one

their hearts beat in unison

they lived only for each other

 

Due to their condition

marriage was deemed inappropriate

they loved each other unconditionally

but never on a physical level

they knew not of such things

 

They were eventually united in death

only days apart

Many wept with mixed emotion

but in their heart of hearts they all knew,

even those without a faith,

that true love

really is eternal.
