It was a normal day
Just like any other
It was the day that I met you
Soon to be my lover

You asked me for directions
To one of your class rooms
I walked you down that high school hall
Where your sweet scent still looms

I had to ask you for your name
I just knew we’d be together
But as I found out later on
It was not to be forever

I loved to hear your joyful laughter
When you were around
I think that is what I miss most
That oh so joyful sound

I remember laying down beside you
And enjoying your presence for hours
And all I’m able to do now
Is bring you occasional flowers

Oh why did that horrible saddening day
Ever have to come to pass
When I found out that the last time
We were together would be our last

I still think a lot about you
And visit you when I can
But in my dreams its not the same
As holding you in my hands

At night when I think about you
And I realize you’ve been gone for years
The memories can become to much
And I moisten my pillow with tears

Maybe one day I’ll see you again
As you were long ago
Possibly at the gates of heaven
I miss you sweet Anna Moe

well written man.i to have had a loved one leave me, not as in the same sense as you though, yet it hurts so much.

Very well done, I really enjoyed reading it. I, too, can identify with the feeling of lost love, and I think you captured the feelings eloquently.
