When Our Love Was Young! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Only if you could remember
When our love was young
Very young
Like breaking dawn
You were everything to me
All I wanted and dreamt of
The same I was to you
Rose meant little to our love
It was more flowery than what could be bought
Gold tasted like iron
Our love was more precious
We both cherished it more than anything
It resided the front of everything
Now I offering a thanksgiving
That we have gone higher
We flourished!
