Poetry Dice Challenge - Week 32: "Timeless"

Hi everybody, this is my entry to @rensoul17's contest. Hope y'all enjoy.

The time frame is meaningless
And the setting even less relevant,
They still walked with a spring in their steps
And behaved like they had the World
In their hands

The signs were clear since the beginning,
Thunder roared when he gazed upon her
And lightning pounded his heart
When she said yes to wining and dining her

No, she didn't believe in Cupid's arrows
Nor in fables of sunshine and rainbows,
She just prayed the road ahead
Wouldn't end to the same heartbreaking
Song and dance,
And so did he

Seasons came and went,
Commitments were questioned
Through unresponded texts
And broken pacts
That led to emotional blood baths

But through all the fights and the bickering
None let go,
They both still clung to the lingering taste
Of that first kiss that had sent loneliness
Swimming with the fishes

They had become each other's flashlights
Ready to guide during the long nights
And let shine in all their ventures,
Their passion had left footprints
On the outlooks of a few "players",
And made them turn
To the next chapter of the book
That is life

With each year,
The fountain of youth's juices only got sweeter,
30 years in, they still danced to the same music
And still bickered over the same trivialities,
They didn't care much for cliques and gossip
They still preferred to live on the road
In their old beaten Volkswagen Beetle

And even when death comes knocking...
I'm sure they'll bargain, saying they're still
In the middle of a good thing.
