These words are penned for my first love who died at a very young age, many many years ago... I still mourn his loss, I guess first loves affect you in this way..


I’m a little sad today as I’ve just realized
I no longer feel your presence in my life
When you died you kept me living with your love for me
When you died you kept me warm with your memories
You always gave me strength when I needed you most
You always listened to my heartfelt woes
I still miss your goodness that enveloped me
I still miss you as much as the first day I breathed without you
Please continue to watch over me a little longer
I need to feel your presence again soon

the pain never goes away
you just get better at dealing with it

And in time,and it takes time.
You learn to remember happy times and smile a little.

Thank goodness for memories..
they help to keep our loved ones who have passed on close to our hearts.

Heart hugs to you dear lady~

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Roniece - I just know that being remembered with love is his gateway to ... "more" so perhaps you've done more good than you realise by this penning.

You will always feel his presence, as long as he remains tucked away in your heart.

How heartwarming. Your love is still there, and felt, I think.

"I still miss you as much as the first day I breathed without you"

~ This line really ached ~ and was so uniquely and touchingly expressive.

Love is energy and energy can never be destroyed. However, it may change in form ~ but it never really dies. His love is still with you but as with those whom I have loved and lost, I feel their presence more at some times than at others.

Giving you a warm hug of love,
EA

Love, though the loved one has passed to another place, never dies.
