Love me now and forever

It was my last day in the city I had dreamt all my life of visiting.  I had no idea what the day would have in store for me but I knew I did not want to shut my eyes for one minute. I knew that with every step, with every look and with every breath I took, I had to held it tight within me because I did not know when I would be back and I also knew how hard it was gonna be to let go. I honestly didn't want the minutes to end nor the time to come to say goodbye.  As the day wore on, the sun started to set, the stares were letting me know that soon enough I would have to return home. That the dream was coming to an end and I was gonna have to wake up and would only be able to remember it as time kept moving on. At one moment, we were taken to a place I had not taken into account that was even there. It was a bridge that was newsworthy. Later, as I started crossing it, I understood what the big deal was about.  It was called the bridge of lovers. It was explained to me that people that were in love would put a lock on the bridge symbolizing their love and then throw away the key into the river Sena. Little did I know that there was one unhappy face wondering why was this place forgotten and remembered only at the last moment.  As I looked around, I was trying to find a lock with a date that would be old. The oldest I could find was 1985.  Jeez, I wasn't even born yet! As I kept looking around, there was one lock that caught my eye. It was painted with pink and it had the words: Love me now and forever.  For me, that is true love. How more romantic can you get than that?  Did I have a lock put on the bridge? No, I did not.  The person I love was not with me for me to do that.  What I can't seem to forget were those sad eyes and the serious face and that wondering look. I wish I was back on the bridge looking for that one lock that would let me know who would value those words the most.....  I wish I was looking as the sun was still not gonna come down... looking down at the river Sena, breathing in the Paris air...wishing those words on the lock were whispered in my ear while your arms were wrapped around me.  Wishing that you held my hand...that you smiled at me tenderly to then kiss me...kiss me passionately unwilling to let go because....you love me now and forever.
