Rolling Into April 

By: Neruka Joseph 

Never before had he thought of  

Going dancing along a London bridge  

To prove to his lover that he would rather  

Give the world a scene to laugh at on  

You-Tube before he would ever give  

Up on their relationship.  

Never again could he even consider  

Going away from her in an attempt  

To nurture his fears and  

Let go of their dreams. How could  

You, really, after so joyously planning to walk  

Down the aisle to a forever after. 

Never, not even at the end of time, was he 

Going to let go of her hand.  

To do so would mean to 

Run in circles for the rest of his life, 

Around and around as if he were playing a game 

And they were but two strangers who could easily 

Desert one another. They had promised each other too many 

You and I’s to not preserve such a perennial masterpiece. 

Author’s Note: Always remember to find the beauty in new beginnings—you never know what they may  have in store for you! Consider, for instance, the first word of each line in this poem. <3 Research Hyperlink
