I only saw you - in the world that I knew,
But enough... to give perfect content.
For I only felt rapture - when your love I did capture,
And I looked in your eyes and we knew what it meant.

From that first starry gaze - to our eternity of days,
Euphoria swept... my soul to its depth.
For your sweet face to touch - your touch said so much,
You would smile ever gentle... as gentle I wept.

Now I look back and smile - and I think for awhile,
Of the world and its beauty... with you as its view.
But you left and with dread - I wished that I'd said,
"That you were my world and my universe too."

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~

Such a bittersweet write,
I hope you did tell her.

Sing in me muse...
and through me tell the story~
