Tbear's writing

A loss is hard to handle

Her eyes met mine and my first thought was forever
She asked if I’d ever leave, I responded softly Never
Like a field in July her scent was tantalizing
As I talked to her I could feel our love intensifying
She seemed to be able to set my mind at ease
I rested my head softly on her lap and lay at peace
I could her gentle voice, feel her gentle touch
Never have I met a girl whom I had loved so much
Often did we converse over life and death
My heart was now taken, her guilty of the theft
Love her today love her tomorrow, love her forever more
I don’t remember ever being lost or caught in bore
Never will I meet a girl such as this
Looking into the darkness of the painful abyss
I think about the world and all of it’s surroundings
I think about my life and all of my turn aroundings
I’ve never stayed the same for more than a year
One day I’m lively, loving, the other days I’m sincere
I remember the walks through the park and nights that never end
I remember gripping her heart and becoming more than a friend
Hearing of her illness, I became sick
At church I lit a candle and stared at the burning wick
Going through her pain standing by her side
I stayed with her through her every stride
Why do things happen to people like this
When she’s not there it’s there’s something that I miss
She’s gone forever now and I’m not one to lie
So loving her I’ll stop never and I’ll try not to cry
For one day I know and this I can say true
I’ll be able to see her lips again say the words I love you.
