"What Remains"

@Uootem

it's such a long ago time...
that spoken of in this rhyme,
when I looked upon your face...
shared with you that special place.
held your hand as we walked...
listening as love's voice talked. 

You are still always here...
in memories I hold so dear.
this memory I can't erase...
these emotions I can not replace.
i miss you so much, still I care...
but to tell you I should not dare.

I ache from inside...
from the tears I have cried.
i know I should move ahead...
get on with a life to be lead.
someday I know my pain will heal...
someday again I will feel.

But here alone, without you to hold...
this day seems so bitter cold.
some things have changed...
some things have stayed.
a love-struck boy...
a life alone without the girl that gave so much joy. 

This is what remains to haunt my heart...
in the years we have been apart.
