Remembering All That Is You
I can’t help but think of you as I see a couple
holding hands,
whispering sweet nothing to each
other as they--
walk in one single stride
Can’t help but think about when
that couple was you and I,
and those--
sweet nothings I whispered
in your ear made you cry, cuz I asked
if you would make me the happiest man
alive, and be my wife
I think about those nights, when our
minds, bodies & souls became one,
and you would whisper in my ear
“Baby I love you” as you gave me all that was you
Can’t help but remember those times,
when your world seemed to be coming
down around you
and--
you would cry on my shoulder, asking
me to hold you tight and never let go
cuz you just didn’t know what to do
I think back and remember the day
when to you...I revealed my fears,
that day you hugged me tight,
kissed my softly on
my forehead, both eyelids, and
through eyes full of understanding
tears you--
reassured me that our love would
conquer all my fears
I so miss those times when I would--
lay my head on your lap,
as we sat watching TV and you
would--
run your fingers
through my hair, then without
warning, you would mute
the volume of the TV,
tap me on the head so I’d look up at you,
only to say I--
love you baby,
then just turn the volume back up,
and continue running your
fingers through my hair
I wish I could have back just one
moment in time...
...one more chance to
bare witness to your shine...
...One more smell of the fragrance of your scent,
so that I may carry it with me wherever
I go...
As I stand here with tears in my eyes,
placing,
these flowers on your hollowed
ground,
I can’t help but remember that
day when you were taken from me,
that day,
when the smile that only you put on
my face,
was turned to a permanent frown
