A Forgotten Love

"It had to be fate." ... The moment we met, there was a connection we could not deny. It cannot be ignored it would not be forgotten. The bond is strong; it will never be broken. You held my hand as I followed blindly, on a path unfamiliar we walk the unknown. Spending our days discovering the world anew ending the night in a cozy embrace feeling safe in your arms while you hold me tight. Nowhere else I would rather be. Many years have passed and look at us now invaded by silence our words are forced. The majority of what you speak is hurtful; that echo through my mind. "I miss the laughter" where has it gone? I wish it could be like our love from the past, a hug or a kiss meant just for me. We still share those precious moments; however, they are rare. Your steps are quick I am losing sight I have fallen behind; my steps are slow. Reach out to me and take my hand to pull me forward; walk by my side. With tender hands and gentle steps carefully gather the shattered pieces; to mend the wounds of my forgiving heart. From you, three words are all I need, for me to keep fighting for a love we once shared.
