A Tender Romance
A love story based on some truth and personal experience.
Featuring the song, For Once In My Life sung by, The Temptations.
A tender romance, a kiss in the moonlight,
my heart set ablaze with love.
I was young when we met many years ago,
but as years went by, time didn’t quench this
love we felt for one another. Still a child when
we first met, but by the time I was 16 I knew it
was true love.
On warm summer nights under the stars I would
think of my love. My heart just could not let him
go. My Mother disapproved, she thought someone
else would be better for me, but I didn’t agree.
So as time went by we grew closer, and more in
love than ever, and I felt we were destined to be
together.
I remember one Christmas sitting by the tree,
I was longing for his company. How I missed him.
He was away and I couldn’t be with him.
Why does love have to hurt sometimes? It hurts
when for some reason you can’t be with the one
you most want to be with. So I sat alone listening
to love songs. Temptations In A Mellow Mood to be
exact, some of his and my favorite songs.
I had a friend who was also in love. Neither one
of us had really experienced as much of life as we
could or should have being so young, but there we
were young and in love. She’d tell me her sad or
glad stories, and I’d tell her mine. It’s good to have
a good friend when you need one, I’m glad we were
there for each other in those early years.
In those early days, he said; he’d see me coming
home with my books and my bobby socks.
He wouldn’t tell me how he felt about me then.
There was an age difference. He was about five years
older which made him seem to old for me then,
but I never really felt he was to old for me so this
didn’t keep us from seeing one another.
Love finds a way.
When someone fills your heart like this it doesn’t
matter where you go, it’s like their always with you,
but time and circumstances can keep you apart.
We were destined to be together though, and no
matter what I held on. There was nothing else to do.
I loved him, and he loved me too, but I think I loved
him more. I wanted to get married and settle down.
So finally the day came, and we were married,
still young but my mind was made up. He was my
true love. My friend who was also in love got married
too. We were married just a couple of years apart.
So many years have gone by now. He proved his love
to me over the many years we were together.
We’ve had beautiful children, and grandchildren
together, many years, some good, some bad, and
although there were some bad times we still loved
each other both physically and emotionally, and
by God’s grace we stayed together. Love grew and
so did we. We experienced so many things together.
It would take some time to write them all down,
but no matter how much time goes by,
I can still remember the days of,
Our Tender Romance.
The Beginning,
By Charlotte Williams
