As I drive away remembering Words that you once said And the same thought Keeps running through my head I don't want to leave you But back to my home I go I've been touched by an angel And this is how I know That first kiss in the park that night Literally took my breath away And when you said "Ilove you" It was then my heart I gave Holding to your hand so tight Never wanting to let go Yes, dear, I love you And this is how I know I don't understand these feelings That are deep inside my heart I just know that it's killing me That we have to be apart I don't have to be afraid To let my feelings show I can tell you anything And this is how I know I understand your reasons And respect your every wish When we are not together I can still feel your gentle kiss Though WE cannot be right now I just want you to know I will wait forever if I have to And this is how I know A lifetime of broken heartedness Is worth just one glance into your eyes Even though when we're apart This heart inside me dies I love you with all my being And on my face I know it shows Darling, I will always love you Yes, this is how I know Yes, My darling, This is how I know. |

Sharon, Very haunting indeed, but what a lovely image to have haunting my mind  Sad, not really....I still get to see her now and then, the lonely times just help me appreciate those times when we are together |

Oh my , oh my....the love bug most certainly has bitten Jeffery and it brings a smile to my face to read these lovely heartfelt words...although I'm wondering when the person to whom they are directed will be revealed to us |

Tender devotion so nicely shared, Jeffrey... and the repeating refrain adds to its charm. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Jeffrey, Wonderful writing here my friend. So full of love and devotion. I am sure things will work out as they should. **sigh** oh to be loved like that....I think it is one of your best. Jenn Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
