When You Are Gone
Written for J

When you are gone as gone you shall be
I will still have your love to comfort me
I’ll hear the music of your love’s song
It will play within my soul ever on
Your smile I’ll see when I close my eyes
And I’ll taste your kiss in each sunrise
When you leave me as I know you will
I’ll have your love until time stands still

When you are gone to that better place
My heart shall still feel your echoes trace
I’ll know you are held in my memory
And that together in spirit we will be
Your soul still enriching me with this
The sweetest touch of your last kiss
When you go I’ll have a part of you
In all that I say think and do

When you are gone on ahead of me
My soul will still know your ministry
I’ll always have the knowledge of this
A love that clothed me in true bliss
The touch of your spirit will guide me
To the place where love waits patiently
When you depart a part will still remain
Your soul’s touch will keep me free from pain

Although you’re gone you’ll be with me
Your spirit will stay throughout eternity

Marsha

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

ain't no way, no how, i am gonna let dis jewel escape thru the cracks onto the 'missing pages' of Passion.  *s*  It is true, is it not, that    
a true love, even if it cannot be, never totally vanishes.  It has changed us, and therefore stays within us, in parts, forever.

From me to you - a kiss of understanding, a hug of hope and a promise of a listening ear...Sarah, if you should need us.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

From the moment I saw the title, I knew this was going to touch me deeply... but what I didn't anticipate is that my reading would be delayed until this week that contains one of those anniversaries that only time and memories help us through. *S* Your words leave no doubt that your memories are rich... and that lack of more time is the only regret.

When you leave me as I know you will
I’ll have your love until time stands still

Yes... you will... and nothing can take that away. *S* Big hearthugs.
