Love Poem: You'Re Every Breath I Take

You'Re Every Breath I Take

_______________________________________

With your hand resting in mine I was strong,
     you were my true north, my anchor, my rock;
and I thought we had this life together,
          that great love could survive all weather.

Within your embrace is where I belong,
     but there is a book written and a clock;
our love was not to be forever,
          my sweet love, I will not let go- NEVER.

Your were my world just like in the song,
      'till on our door destiny came to knock;
and you had to leave me for Heaven's gate
          it was long written and it was your fate.

I will not forget you my whole lifelong,
     and the clock of time is loud tick-tock, tock;
I thought that without you my world would end,
          but each day I feel your great love descend.
