Poem
Years ago, while I was at work You approached, and gave me that look. When our eyes met, on that first day I glanced at you, and looked away. My heart was pounding, oh so fast I never felt this, will it last? Papers I gave you, to fill out I explained, what they were about. A week went by, and you came back For those papers, you had lost track. I gave them to you, one more time I even showed you, where to sign. Then one night, we had met once more At the club, you stood by the door. We had a drink, and shared a dance You sure had me, from your first glance. In the morning, you came on by “Please come with me, but don’t ask why”. To the seawall, to watch the view Spending all day, just me and you. You treated me, just like a queen Someone like you, I’ve never seen. You gave your heart, I gave mine too To each other, our love was true. The time we spent, I hold so dear Where this was going, wasn’t too clear. I loved you more, each day we spent I felt our love, was truly meant. You were my first, and only love Our fate was in, the man above. I had to leave, after a year One last kiss, but many a tear. “I’ll come for you”, I heard you say Please make it soon, for this I pray. Years had passed by, no word from you My heart was broke, what will I do? I never heard, you didn’t come I just settled, I heard from some. I never loved, like I loved you For what I felt, I knew was true. I got your call, on one late night “You’re in my heart, but out of sight.” “I’ve wanted you, here in my life” “I just found out, you’re someone’s wife.” You had told me, you held my heart I am with you, though we’re apart. For we’re meant, to be together Love like ours, will last forever. Then one day, I felt something wrong This eerie feeling, sure was strong. I called your mom, and we both cried When she told me, you had just died. Stomach cancer, is what you had Finding this out, I felt so sad. The night you called, it was goodbye You never said, you knew I’d cry. I’ll always miss, the love we shared Knowing how much, you really cared. I must go on, and live my life For I’m a mom, and someone’s wife. In your life, when you find true love Make sure to thank, the man above. Someday we’ll meet, at heaven’s gate I know that you, will always wait.
