Think of Me

THINK OF ME

     
Nothing is the same!  
I reach out for your touch  
but you are gone.
I am all feeling

All consuming:
Feelings of desperation
I must somehow leave behind
They pull me down
Into a dark and empty  chasm where you are not.   

But how can I live without those feelings?
the product of so many memories  of you and me, 
of the way we made each other laugh 
- and cry - 
and the  unfettered passion we unleashed upon each other 
the openness we shared 
this was the true embodiment of our love    -

My very  being flows with emotion,  
coursing through my veins  like some
Fast flowing  river rushes to the sea
Emotions  I will treasure into eternity, 
But I have to find a way to go on without you 

And so for the present, and self-preservation,
I must lock away our love so deeply in my heart
It will be as lost.

Maybe. one day when I'm stronger,
I shall be able to take our love from its catacomb 
and allow my self, just for a moment, 
to let it bloom once more

Oh how I will savour the sweet perfume of  it's Beauty!
and all that you mean to me 
Swiftly though, I must return it to a safer place
for I dare not  risk reliving
the pain  and torment of our parting. 
Think of me .
