Gone are the days of love letters <br />Of long-stemmed roses and chocolates <br />Gone are those sweet words uttered <br />As if your lips were closed and sealed. <br /> <br />Gone are the days of whispering sweet nothings <br />While chasing each other along the golden shore <br />Gone are those times of picking up seashells <br />While the air feasted on our youthful yells. <br /> <br />Gone are the days of love letters <br />But safely kept in the vault of my memory <br />Gone are those days of long-stemmed roses <br />But its petal still pressed in my diary. <br /> <br />Silently, we sit by the dusky shore <br />Feeling the moist of the twilight breeze <br />Gripping each others hand, trembling <br />Pondering on our younger years, smiling <br /> <br />Holding on though no more words to say <br />Love remains until the end of our days.<br /><br />Maia Padua<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-remains/
