Goodbye for now.
When I saw you
Come and sit next to me,
With your eyes so blue,
I felt like I could hardly breath.
You said "would you like to
come on a walk with me?"
I said yes, then you
took me to see
Your favorite place
then you handed me a mirror
to see the smile on my face
As you drew nearer.
Then you took my hand
and said "hey, do you believe in
destiny,
'Cause I believe
that you were meant for me."
Then I was delighted to see
You get down on one knee
And take out a ring
And say "Will you marry me?"
I hardly muffled a yes
'Cause I was hugging your neck.
It felt like all day
That we remained that way.
So as I stand here,
Looking down at your pale, lifeless face,
I let my tears fall on your chest,as I chase
That memory
Of you and me.
The good times we had
and the things we got to do.
The giggles and laughs
The jokes you told me, and I told you.
But now that is done
Because you are gone.
But still forever
our love will carry on.
And even though the light
is gone from your eyes,
I embrace you,
to say goodbye.
And it's almost as if I can hear you
telling me it's gonna be alright.
'Cause I will see you
In another life.

Aww, thank you so much! You have no idea how much it really means to me to have people give such posotive feedback on my works, so thank you.
And when I wrote this, I wrote it because I just wanted to try something new. It hadn't had any really personal meaning behind it, but not long after I wrote, something came up in my life, and this has a lot more of a personal story behind it then it did when I first wrote it. I mostly think of my really close friend who lost his wife almost seven months ago, and I think of the amazing marriage that had. It's hard without Nancy herem but I know I'll see her again. She was like a mother to me, and my poem Bond, Forever Strong is actually about her too.
So thanks for the comment! I appreciate it! :)
