by Angel L. Villanueva
Take my hand,
walk with me,
and let me show you
the stages of our love
on this wonderful journey:
eros—for your beauty consumes me;
agape—for it is unconditional;
storge—for deep is our affection;
philia—for intimate is our friendship.
And so,
as we walk hand in hand,
enduring arduous times,
setbacks, and obstacles,
remember…
the stages of our love
will nourish us,
strengthen us,
and cement us
until we reach our destination,
in eternity's embrace.
