Love Lives Forever

Another year wondering if you are happy within your world,

Has life treated you well and has it gone to plan?

Do you understand that within my heart you are alive and well,

Just as I remember back when you and I began?

***

Our love was never truly lost,

Instead it’s locked up tight in a safe and happy place,

One where I go to visit every now and again,

So that I can once more gaze upon your face.

***

All our happy memories reside deep within my heart,

The nights of loving, the deep conversation, your touch,

Buried deep within my memories, preciously guarded,

Visited as the need arises, remembered as such.

***

Years have passed but the memories never dim,

I can close my eyes and feel the love we felt,

The reminders enough to get me through the bad days,

Lucky back then with the hand we were dealt.

***

I’m honoured to have met you when I did,

The connection instantaneous as I caught your eye,

The years that followed with no regrets,

Even with the sadness of that final goodbye.

***

Would you do it all again if given the chance?

Absolutely, there’s no hesitation in my response,

Knowing the painful ending that was to follow,

I’d happily shrug my shoulders in nonchalance.

***

All good things eventually come to an end,

All bad things too shall pass,

We certainly had the most dramatic ups and downs,

But would you do it again, I ask?

***

Love is never truly lost,

As I hold you within my heart,

Yes it’s tough to say that final goodbye,

The sorrow monumental when we part.

***

But each day that passes the pain lessens,

Until all that’s left is the love we shared,

The anger, the bitterness dissipates,

But we never lose the fact we cared.

***

We were together when the time was right,

We parted when it was meant to be,

We learned our lessons, imparted our wisdom,

And walked away when it was time to be free.

***

I send you forgiveness and gratitude,

For the love and time you had to give,

Those few years that were solely ours,

For the love in which we got to live.
