RECOLLECTIONS

I have committed to memory
Your touch,
Your body and mine,
Fused together
In an unbreakable bond.
This precious closeness,
Is retained
In the recesses of my mind.
How thankful I am,
For the ability
To remember you so clearly.
You remain indelible on my heart,
How sweet the words,
Murmured,
In the throes of passion.
I recall every one,
And the remembering
Causes exquisite pain.

There have been other lovers
Since you,
Undoubtedly,
There will be more,
In my unending search
For a love to replace,
That which I had with you.
If you had left me for another
I could have hated you
And been free,
Instead you were taken in death,
Leaving so many things
Unsaid and undone.
Our relationship
Is like a book,
Half written
By a discouraged writer
Who can see no end in sight.
But how grateful,
Truly grateful I am
For the presence of you,
In my life,
If only for a short,
But memorable time.

I am an enigma, even unto myself.
A puzzle unsolved, a mystery maybe until beyond death. ©das

Oh, how heartfelt this is. Lovely. Chris

Don't know if this is "truth, lies (or) imagination" but it is soooo beautiful. It makes me sad even if it isn't true and if it is, I hurt for you. B.

I too lost my very first true love to death. I have always thought bad as it is it is better for me than betrayal would have been. At least I kept the sweetness of remembrance. Joyce
