The place WE were was beautiful

The place WE were was beautiful

The place We were was beautiful

Tortured by lust

Tangled by love

We sat there for hours

Waiting for night to fall

The thick air stood still

The stars glistened

Passing time was unnoticeable

It was just a pathway

For graceful beauty to reach our thoughts

And change our perception 

Of reality and dreams

Just in that moment

Love's secrets were revealed

Judgements were ignored

The moment was pure

The moment was ours

Our hearts were consumed with its sweet intention

With its irresistible illusion

Unaware of all else around

We could have stayed forever

In that place where beauty is delivered 

But its beauty played a trick

It began to fade

We began to notice time passing

Our moment became a memory

The place We were was beautiful

And we'll chase its beauty forever after

Yet its beauty continues to test us 

Cause while it continues to fade 

Its memory never fades

It serves as our reminder 

That our moment would have never happened

If our hearts didn't want it to in the first place

It serves as our reminder

That while beauty fades

Our hearts grow deeper and wiser 

And as passing time finally catches up to us

It slows us down long enough to stop and think

That even though beauty fades,

We only choose to hold the memory 

Because its beauty is what shaped our hearts

The place We were was beautiful

We could never forget it

Yet now here I am 

And there you are

Time is passing us

Our hearts begin to wonder 

Just how strong our memory holds

Doubt creeps into our thoughts

And changes again our perception 

Of reality and dreams

And in that moment

Love tests us

We go back in our unfading memory

To that place We were

And while in our minds that place is still so beautiful

We can't help but wonder

Where are We.

Dear Poetess J. b. Hammond,

Your above verse is highly romantic in nature, melancholic in its mature, lovable, but lengthy...I enjoyed. Keep writing more and more. 

Our hearts were consumed with its sweet intention ( Means the aim of romance and love )

With its irresistible illusion (The word irresistible is very suitable )

Unaware of all else around ( Very enchanting, lovable line) 

We could have stayed forever ( Very thirsty in love life )

In that place where beauty is delivered ( Romance itself is beauty )

But its beauty played a trick ( This is life)

It began to fade ( The beginning of  calamities ...)

Regards, Love & Good luck, Blessings
