The Letter

It had been six lonely months Since the love of his life had passed His heart lay in solace His mind had lots of regrets What could he had done different Did he tell her "I love you" enough Maybe she would have stayed longer If these words she would have heard Going through her belongings Sorting and deciding which to keep which to let go Laying within her paper work Was a white envelope addressed to him With a drawn heart and a set of lips Reluctantly he opened it His eyes filling with tears A love letter from her to him Telling him just what he needed to hear My darling if you are reading this My time on earth has passed I wanted to leave you one last message sealed with a heart for the love I'm sending from Heaven And a great big sloppy kiss Please don't weep for me no longer I have not went away I'll be right here beside you As you go through your beautiful life Day to day I'll watch and wait patiently As many memories you make I'll count the hours as they pass by Until once again we can embrace There was nothing more you could have done To keep me there to life My heart and soul needed to be free My body no longer had the fight You gave me so much more than I deserved With your compassion and your love I have an eternity of happiness Right here inside my heart I get to keep here with me in Heaven treasured everyday laughs and touches You helped me save up through the years Until we meet again my love Carry on and remember to take everything in That is what life is for It's the memories that we imprint
