Old Love New Love A Song Of Understanding

Noodle Prompt

It was a volcanic eruption
Sixteen and Seventeen
We were consumed with emotions and sensations
that shimmered and glowed like red hot lava

We met at a dance
Was there music?
If there was I did not hear it
I only remember the soft blur of love

The music would come years later

For a time we floated in our bubble
It was magical
with fairy dust spinning around us

Then the bubble burst

Why? There is no answer
It was not a choice made
There was still magic dancing in my heart
Love lingered for a long time

I will always remember the sadness

Years passed and life went on
I did not find that magical feeling again
just acceptance and inadequate day to day events
outside our bubble

Life is magical and fairy dust does exist
Memories lingered and the love never died
I learned not to believe in it
If I thought of him I smiled and shrugged

Time is but a heartbeat or so it felt
that day he called me
A voice from the past now with a deep gravelly tone
not there when he was seventeen

Shivers down my spine and thirty-eight years slipped away
Love reignited and the volcano erupted
rumbling and shooting sparks into the air

Old love turned into new love
magic sprinkled with disappointments and difficulties
mixed with moments of pure wonderment and joy

The love we have now simmers and bubbles
there is music and a special song spinning every day
The song speaks to me and tells our story and I know
I just can’t stop loving him.
