Missing you, now that you've gone. Gone on to a better place. You and I we flew so high, together forever. I thought you were mine until the day you died. You told me you loved me as you lay dying. Wanting no more than to hold you, keep you safe in my arms. Missing you, now that you're gone. Memories come on like a flood. The tears stream down my face, as the first shovelful of dirt is dropped. You were my world, my soul, my joy. All I gave to you was my heart. Holding on to the dreams we had, praying for a chance to show you I can. Wishing you hadn't died so soon, there was so much we wanted to do. Build a house, raise a family, travel the world, and live in peace. Missing you now and forever, now knowing you rest in peace....... P. J. Kotrch carpe diem A soul once touched is a soul once blessed by love |

beautiful and touching poem I am moved by your words...and I understand. we heal as we write. take care, jm There are places inside our souls ... that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts ... that need to be loved this much. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ...

~epoet wow! this touched my heart so much! i haven't read anything of yours prior to this i don't think...it's a pleasure to read your work. this is very touching and sad! to lose the one you love is so very hard...trust me i know. i wish you grace from the Lord (if that is what you believe in) and much peace during this time of healing. take care. amy "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

~Epoet,...I know that I've already replied to this but I came back to read it again...and it's still just as powerfully gripping as the first time. This poem of yours just grabs me...it's so heartfelt and it's so very touching. I wish you peace...and thank you again for sharing your heart. *Take care. |

aimster and spitfire thank you very much. It was very hard to write this but it helped me close a sad part of my life. for more of my poetry check out the corner pub and critical analysis. I really put my best stuff in those two for all the comments I can get help. P. J. Kotrch carpe diem A soul once touched is a soul once blessed by love |

This is very very sad and touched my heart deeply, very beautiful epoet. Je t'aime plus qu'hier et moins que demain." I love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow (unkown) |

This one touches my heart, as someone I love is very ill right now...when I read this I can't help think of how it will feel if he is no longer here. Thank you for sharing your heart in this piece. |

butterflies, I hope this didn't cause you too much pain. I wrote this shortly after I left the military. I hope it helped you treasure the time you have with your loved one. P. J. Kotrch carpe diem A soul once touched is a soul once blessed by love |
