I have to write this, if only in hope...
I was happy before you,
Not knowing you were there.
Then fate found you,
And I was not the same.
You floated into my life,
A fantasy on the wind,
Stuck fast in my heart,
And made it sing.
Not love as a poet would write of
But love of a friendship to be,
You brightened my days with words,
And eased me to sleep with your beauty.
I turned around,
And you were gone.
Now I wonder,
Through this endless night,
Why cruel fate would steal you away again,
And leave this empty space in my heart.
********************
Wherever you are, may life treat you as graciously and as kindly as I know you to be. You deserve nothing less.
