As I sit on the sand, Watching the waves come and go, The September breezes blow, Making everything grow cooler, I can remember when You once sat here beside me, Your arms wrapped around me; You spoke such tender words of love In my ear. As the sun begins to set, And everything grows darker, I lie back and gaze At the clear night sky. It seems a lifetime ago That you were here, Holding me as we looked up At God's gorgeous creation together. Where has it gone? Where are those times In which I felt your love so deeply? Now life is cold, Cool breezes blowing, Everything growing darker And unbelievably more lonely. The only reason I looked at the stars Rather than in your eyes Is the fact That they amazed you so. I wanted to discover Just what so mesmerized you. If not for that, Sweet Love, I would still be gazing Into your eyes, For the stars have nothing On the light in your soul. I won't go, I won't sleep, I can't breathe until you're resting here with me... |

I wonder if the person spoken in about in this poem really knew the heart of the writer... A sweet tale of longing... -Tier |

No time is lost if you are left with some sweet memories to hold on to. This is a very lovely though longing poem and I wish for you a warmth of a love that will light that fire of passion in you once again. Hugs to you my sweet friend. |

Snowpants, Such a beautiful and sad poem. If he only really knew how you feel. "I can remember when You once sat here beside me, Your arms wrapped around me; You spoke such tender words of love" Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
