I delve into the depths of my mind
and try so hard to recollect the last time
that you and I were truly happy together
Wasn't it the night when we were
bathed in the moon's milky glow
Counting the stars
in the constellations way up high
When we claimed the brightest star
as our very own
Such a memorable night
that you seem to have forgotten
I now see a stranger
when looking into your eyes
But my mind desperately tries to mould
the image of this stranger's face
back into the face that was once
filled with so much passion and love for me
As we once walked hand in hand
under the moon's milky glow

Oh, This is so touching! I feel your words. Give this to him! Or at least take a magic marker and draw on his face while he sleeps! Get that glow back Girl! Keep writing!
Sincerely,
Rwood

So sad. Sometimes love just fades away. Nicely expressed.

Nicely written, Sue...I like this...I like the images a lot...

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...
