In Remembrance....

Today
is the present
because it is my gift

You
are a gift to me

You encourage me
Your presence lights my world
Your heart
that you let me hold
is a miracle
worth it's weight in gold

If you look close enough
you will find me
looking at you
endlessly

I take my cursor
and outline the smile
on your face

I dream about what it would be like
to touch your lips with mine
to brush my skin
against your fingertips

(deep sigh)

No one will love you
as tender as I do

I love you

Yesterday is history....

I can't believe I was so close to you
I can't believe I knew you
so personally

I can't believe that every new day
was filled with thoughts
of what we could be
together

The whole time thing is
so funny to me
how one minute
we can be so caught up
in sweet kisses
warm embracing
and courting conversations

and the next....

strangers
across a crowded room
having to remember not to speak

But I remember everything about you

Everything you told me
I will never forget

I spend all my waking moments
in remembrance
of a yesterday
of a beautiful love

gone too soon
