have re- written this one as it needed a little work.

hugs june x
Meet me, you said,

As usual at eight

I willalways be there,

by the little church gate



That night though was different

afterwhat happenedto us

So why was I so nervous?,

making an unusual fuss ?



Ifelt so very alone,

as I combed out my hair

Dabbing on the perfume,

You loved me to wear



In my heart I was aware,

I was increasing the pain

You could never be there,

This would be all in vain



All my reason had fled

I had nothing left to lose

So I reached for mycoat,

Stepped on into my shoes



I walked through the dusk,

to meet you at eight

I was lost in my sorrow

But I couldn’t be late



I saw and heard nothing,

but your voice and your smile

Only hope kept me going,

as I travelled that mile



At the little church gate,

I waited , desperate for you

Cold and so very lonely,

Rain soaking me through



As I waited that night,

I could sense this was wrong

I was fooling, only myself,

Pretending to be strong



So finally I accepted,

my wounded heart had lied

You couldn’t possibly be there,

For last night you had died



That’s when It happened,

My illusions were shattered

I was wretched with grief

I’d lost all that had mattered



As my weeping subsided,

the church bells spoke eight

I heard the familiar creak,

Of our little church gate



The sob that escaped me,

Was caught up in your kiss

Tender lips warmed mine,

In a fantasy of bliss



The heat from your caress,

Will ever-more remain

The last kiss of love,

To soothe awaymy pain

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

lovely write. the extra work you put into this piece paid off...   nicely done.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
