Love Poetry: Ten Years

by The crazy Colombian
(Sydney, NSW Australia)

'Ten years
of company;
Ten years
of love.
Ten years
of walking together
through different paths
in this journey called life.

Ten years
of laughs,
Ten years
of sadness,
Ten years
of fights,
of smiles,
of routine,
of surprises,
of life
that is remembered
in a split second,
lived in a lifetime,
loved every minute,
shared every day.

Ten years
of partnership
in many enterprises;
Garden renovations,
purchase of a home;
careful selection of
beautiful things
to surround ourselves with,
and remind ourselves
of the wonderful,
privileged
lives we are
living together.

Ten years
of companionship
in many moments
of solitude;
of despair;
of dreams.
Of happiness,
of life and death,
of boredom and awe,
of crying and laughing.

Ten years
that feel like a hundred,
because we have learned
to know each other
as if we had been together
forever.

Ten years
that feel like ten seconds,
because time flies
when you are having
a good time.

“In good times
and in bad times,
In sickness
and in health
‘till death do us part”’

Those were our vows,
to each other
ten years ago.

‘I will be there for you,
Always; Forever’
is my vow to you today,
Tomorrow,
and Yesterday.

‘I will be there for you,
Always’,
My promise
to make you
my number one
every day of my life;
to try putting myself
in your shoes,
see your perspective,
understand the way you feel,
the way you think,
the things you want,
the questions that trouble you,
and try my best
to make you happier.



‘I will be there for you, Forever’,
because regardless
of what happens in this life,
and the next,
you will always
have a part of my soul;
take a place in my heart;
be present in my thoughts;
Make me smile all the time.

Ten years
Just gone by;
Ten years
coming at us;
Ten years
many times,
in this life
and the next one;
Ten years
of love,
forever.'
