A Single Flower

Death came today... taking my sweet Jess from me; to an even better place, I pray, than this life we shared so passionately. If only I could just hold her, keep her a moment more; but alas, God has called for her, now she sleeps evermore. So many small things I should have told her, too many feelings left unsaid; I can only hope she sensed my love was stronger than words instead. As I pass through this day of lost love, there is but one thing to lessen my pain: her promise that one day, our two souls will be one again. So someplace I'll plant a single flower, brighten a lonely place; and hope she knows it blooms for two, an endless love for one never to be replaced.
