They lived in a world of make believe.
They thought, that nobody ever leaves.
They never felt another's temptations, because in their world, you never had to.
Love in their eyes, was romantically true.
They were ripped apart from each others hearts.
This was something they never expected to happen to them.
Marcus and Mary, will never love again.
Mary promised Marcus, that he will be her one, forever true love.
Marcus loved Mary to, but maybe what he had to offer her was not enough.
Ever since they were together, nothing but bad luck was brought to them.
Maybe Mary needed to seek other men.
Mary was sent away and her family definitely had other plans for this sweet thing.
They knew only bad news is what Marcus would bring.
Nobody knew that Mary was carrying the biggest secret of all.
Marcus didn't even know either, this would of just caused a massive brawl.
Months have passed and Mary started gaining a little weight on her stomach, which made everyone's eyes grow wide.
Their was a baby Marcus growing inside.
News spread around town quickly, rumors came out that Mary has a new man.
When word got to Marcus, he was a little upset, but he grew to understand.
This is what he needed to hear,
That Mary, fell in love again, he smiled with happy tears.
His one and only Mary, can finally be happy again.
Little did he know that she was lonely without her man, her heart will never mend.
One day she will come back home with a daughter or son of her own.
Marcus always loved his Mary, but hearing that she was happy, and living again, made him realize that it's time he moved on to.
Women were plenty, but true love only a few.
Years have passed and Mary never fell in love.
She had a sweet baby boy named Michael, which for now was enough.
Her journey is to go back home.
But not alone.
She was wondering after 5 years did Marco wait for her to return back to him.
Or did he fall in love again.
Little did she know, he thought that she had forgotten him, so he moved on to.
He fell in love with the judges daughter, someone she never knew.
The life he always wanted, he was living now, but his great love was always Mary, the one he loved and lost.
At his expense, he never knew the cost.
Knocking at his front door was Mary, and a four year old boy that was his son.
His eyes grew wide and teary, Mary had come back to find her one true love, the tears had just begun.
He laughed with glee, and said " you leave me for another man, and now you flaunt your family.
She looked at him with a confused smirk, and said " the only man that I ever loved was you."
He then replied " I heard you moved on with another man."
She looked at him awkwardly and said " the only man I ever loved was you" she reached out her hand.
" By the way I would like to introduce you to your son, Michael, we couldn't wait to get back to you."
Marcus and Mary never stopped loving each other, this love was true.
He held Michael in his arms and Mary hugged them to.
Marcus looked at the two greatest loves in his life, and replied,
" Mary and Michael, my family, my greatest loves, the ones I waited my whole life for, I never stopped loving the two of you."
Life brought them gifts, but the one true gift it brought was love.
Now Marcus knows that his love for Mary was enough.
