Wanting to hold you so close to my heart I can’t find the words to go back to the start We began in the middle and reached a quick end But I want to say now what I couldn’t then Your eyes are like mirrors to my very own soul I was only half, your love made me whole You were my lover and very best friend The one source in my life on which I did depend Your voice was reassuring in the darkest of night Your laughter so joyful in the bright summer light Your smile as radiant as heaven above And nothing to me sweeter than your feeling of love Wanting to feel your lips on my cheek You were the happiness I always did seek And from the first day our emotions just grew Until I thought of nothing but you My darling believe me where ever you are You are my only wish when I see the first star Your life was ended just far too soon It’s like replacing the sun with the shadow of the moon So I’m sorry I never did get to say to you aloud How being with you made me so very proud I was too busy enjoying the warmth of your touch The very one I now miss just too much This is supposed to be a goodbye for you But Goodbye is something I just cannot do So smile where you are dearest, I’ll join you someday In a place where happiness can forever stay And until that time I’ll remember what we shared In the many ways we showed how we cared And my only regret is that we ended too fast But still shared a love to forever last Wanting to hold you I bid thee farewell And to our unborn child this tale to tell A fairy tale love with the sweetest end A new baby to love, my new very best friend. ------------------ For sometimes when the Darkness falls, we must surrender, take what is ours, and give what we can, and always remember love is somewhere waiting... |

Very moving...so sad, but there seems to be a glimmer of hope. A phenomenal piece, azblond. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "I will sail my vessel 'till the river runs dry, like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky..." Garth Brooks |

This one brought tears to my eyes, Az. Well done. ------------------ Shall I indulge in flights of fancy hampered by clipped wings? DreamEvil© |

You did a great job writing this, as I am sure tears had to be flowing from your eyes as you wrote down each and every beautiful memory of the man you loved. You were blest to be given a gift of love that the two of you shared. |
