Palace of Love

I am here now wandering through this memory.
The palace of where you 1st said you loved me.
It was once upon a time, you told me to close my eyes,
I felt your hands covering my eyes and I felt a pull at my soul.
I felt your hands lift and I opened my eyes,
I was surrounded by pillars embroidered with Nature.
Autumn was the setting.
All around laid leaves of gold, some being blown away by the wind.
I look up I see the great palace made of gold, nature, and relentless beauty.
You took my trembling hands and guided me deeper into this magnificent world.
This world where Man and Nature were in love.
We crossed a bridge of ivory, which was white as snow, supported by gold and nature.
You stopped and told me to sit here,
This very spot, where my feet dangled out of the bridge.
"Look at the setting sun..." You said.
As I watched, I felt like something was pulling at my heart.
You took my hand and pulled ever so gently signaling for me to get up.
You lead the way...
And I loved it.
Your hands were so warm, so very soft.
Your beautiful dress made you look so ever amazing.
"What is this feeling?" I thought to myself.
Two stair wells lead up to the massive golden doors.
We said at the same time, "Meet you half-way."
We chuckled and raced up the stairs.
This climb felt like a quest for great treasure.
I heard an orchestra play as I reached you.
You were the prize...
And I loved it.
You reached for my hand when we met.
As you held my hand, the doors instantly opened for us.
A great hall lit by diamond lights...
People dancing!
People happy!
Your face gave an aura of such indescribable beauty.
We walked hand and hand to the center of the hall.
The whole party seemed to be waiting for us.
All eyes on us as we reached the center.
Instantly we danced a glorious dance.
I knew what this feeling was!
Love.
Our dance was seen by all.
Amazement in their eyes.
This is what "true love" is!
You whispered these words to me...
"Ever since I laid eyes on you, I knew you were special, it's taken a while for me to say this, but I love you."
Hearing those words set my soul on fire.
You kissed me, and the great hall roared with cheer and joy.
"This is my destined one." I thought.

She was my world.
