Timeless Embrace
by Poetic Rizz
Original poem "It's Been Years" by Takia Johnson
Poetry Now Version
It’s been years since our paths first crossed,
Years since we locked eyes, unaware of our destiny.
Since that moment, not a day has passed where I haven't felt your presence.
Years since we shared our first laugh,
Our first smile,
And our first kiss.
I remember how strong your arms embraced me,
How soft you held me,
How warm and gentle you were.
That first kiss was pure fire, and my heart still dances in its glow.
It’s been years since we met,
And you're still here kissing me just the same.
You're still here holding me just the same.
What I felt for you is still the same.
It’s been years—
And that feeling will never change.

Original Poem
It's been years since we first met
Since we looked into each other's eyes
Not realizing that we were meant to be together
It's been years since we shared our first laugh
Our first smile
Since we shared our first kiss
I remember how strong your arms embraced me
How soft you held me
How warm and gentle you were
I remember how passionate that first kiss was
Now my heart is dancing
Happy, knowing that it's been years
It's been years since we first met
And you're still here kissing me just the same
You're still here holding me just the same
What I felt for you is still the same
It's been years
And that feeling will never change
