Think of Me
THINK OF ME
Nothing is the same!
I reach out for your touch
but you are gone.
I am all feeling
All consuming:
Feelings of desperation
I must somehow leave behind
They pull me down
Into a dark and empty chasm where you are not.
But how can I live without those feelings?
the product of so many memories of you and me,
of the way we made each other laugh
- and cry -
and the unfettered passion we unleashed upon each other
the openness we shared
this was the true embodiment of our love -
My very being flows with emotion,
coursing through my veins like some
Fast flowing river rushes to the sea
Emotions I will treasure into eternity,
But I have to find a way to go on without you
And so for the present, and self-preservation,
I must lock away our love so deeply in my heart
It will be as lost.
Maybe. one day when I'm stronger,
I shall be able to take our love from its catacomb
and allow my self, just for a moment,
to let it bloom once more
Oh how I will savour the sweet perfume of it's Beauty!
and all that you mean to me
Swiftly though, I must return it to a safer place
for I dare not risk reliving
the pain and torment of our parting.
Think of me .
