Hey,

Thought I'd post another.

She used to put her arms around me,
and I could feel her grasp was tight.
The words she spoke when she talked
to me, was magic in all its might.

She told me she was safe beside me
and count the sleeps until we met,
but now she counts the sleeps no more
and I begin the count instead.

I used to wipe her tears aside, and make
her smile when she cried, but now
instead its me who starts them, and
it tears me up inside.

She used to be a little girl, who clung
to the site of me, but now she's grown
before my eyes, and it hurts to
set her free.

I was all she used to think about, thouts
of me would fill her head.
Now she no longer thinks of me, but
other things instead.

She used to hold my hand when we walked,
and whisper that she loved me true,
but now I feel her love is gone, and I
just don't know what to do.

I feel I am losing life itself, my breath
being drawn away,
I search for words to bring it back,
but I don't know what to say.

All I can do is cry my tears, and pray
that she holds my hand again
let her begin the count again,
and that she whispers in my ears again.
Or at least, feel the love again,
and take it from there,.. instead.

Love can be searched for in Infinity, Found within Eternity,.. Lost within Seconds..
