The warmth of your body.
The smell, of your hair.
Your intoxicating presence.
My obsessive love.
The weeks, that you left me.
The tears, that I shed.
My pride, that you trampled.
My love, that was gone.
The day, that you came back.
The pain, that I swallowed.
My forgiving heart.
My kids, that I loved.
Our lives must go on.

this hit a powerful message home with me. this was penned
quite beautifully! and yes through the pain we do live and go
on...hopefully we come out with a stronger love and better
definition of who we are and what we want. excellent poem!
