I remember when you wrote me love notes
and put petals in the bath
I remember when you would hold me
and we would laugh and laugh.

I remember when you would dedicate a song to me,
then write your own
I remember when you would point, and say,
one day that will be our home.

I remember when you always sent me
colourful pretty flowers
I remember when you always gave me
your thoughts ... then they were ours.

I remember when you would comfort me,
kiss me on the lips, and dry my tears
I remember when you put your hand in mine,
told me you would burden my fears.

I remember when you had heaps of patience,
a ready smile and heaps of joy
I remember when you used to look at me
in "that" certain way, all coy.

I remember how we used to lay on the couch
all day, and hug and talk
I remember how we used to drive somewhere,
anywhere, and then walk and walk.

I remember talking about our future children,
and dreaming of who they would be
I remember when I could tell you anything,
when I could just be me.

I remember when
I remember
I
only
remember.

Another keeper Tara...very well said.  It's those memories that, even though painful at time, still bring a smile to my face.  Thanks for sharing your memories with us....and I hope you make many more.  Hardrock

Yes Tara, I remember it all to.
A great poem kid.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

Across the gateway of my heart,
I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!"
But love came laughing by and
Cried "I enter everywhere!!!"
