“A few are as permanent as love is old.” Wise words from this young poet! They ring true; go deep. Some of us may be blessed to have such people in our lives. Maybe we are that person for someone. Either way, it’s a blessing.
I was lucky to have been in a committed relationship with a special lady in my life, and was there for her, right up to her last breath, and beyond. Even though she passed away four years ago tonight (Oct 1, 2016), the love remains.

For more info on Nikita Gill visit her Wiki, Facebook, and Amazon pages, and follow her on Instagram. She is quoted by others on Twitter.
Later added: Lake Street Dive’s nostalgic love song “Twenty-Five” about a temporary love filled with “summer laughter” and “affogato” produced a permanent loving memory.
I searched online and found out more about her in these interviews: ROADBOOK: Poet Nikita Gill on identity, mythology and the power of oral tradition; Eastern Eye: Nikita Gill’s poetic words of wisdom; Absolutely Education: Nikita Gill – poet for our times.
