Undying Love
Location
I awake each morning,
With empty space at my side.
Yet I can feel your presence still.
Your sweet scent lingers on.
As I inhale, I think of you, again.
I still remember our warm embrace,
The way you would stroke my face,
And how you knew my every trace.
As I watch the stars in sky,
before saying goodnight,
I go back in time to our memories together.
It seems so close,
Almost real,
Your soft lips leave gentle marks upon mine.
But my dreaming does no good,
So I finally move from my perch at the window seat.
As I turn out the light and climb into bed,
I think of the two things that give meaning to my life;
Our darling children, to whom you passed on your smile,
and this last delightful though;
You may be gone, but our love will never die.
