Please take good care of my heart 'Cause I'm leaving it with you Every moment we're apart Makes me oh so blue So take good care of my heart Please don't let it break If we never meet again That's a chance I have to take I give you all my love One encounter at a time When we aren't together I slowly lose my mind My memories of you Are all that keep me sane So take good care of my heart Until we meet again Tell me you'll always love me Please don't say good-bye Though we may be far apart I see you when I close my eyes The way your body trembled When I ran my fingers through your hair When I close my eyes and dream at night I can still see you lying there I give you everything I have In exchange for nothing but your love Holding on to those memories Having faith that God above Will one day answer my prayers And we will be together again So take good care of my heart Till that day we meet again ****************************************** This was written for the love of my life  |

Jeffrey, I know this one came from the heart my friend. It is romantic and wonderful writing. The love shines through. You have a heart of gold my friend. I hope she takes care of it and that you meet again soon. The end is perfect. Hang onto that hope. 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 |

Straight from the heart Jeffery...excellent ...expressions so tenderly offered to your best friend and lover.....It got me thinking how lonely a person would be without this kind of love. Take care......ethome.. |
