A Single White Lily

We were apart..
You had taken your own journey
I had taken mine..

We remain apart..
Moments..
Hours..
Days .
Weeks..
Months..
Years
Upon every waking hour..
I reminese and ponder..
When our beating hearts were one..

A Single White Lily
Held in my hand
There it stood..
A representation of our deep love

A beautiful lily..
Signified our connection 
Had yearned for your warm embrace..
Many restless nights..
I imagine your soft caresses..
Your sweet kisses..
All captured in my mind..
When a camera captures a photo..
Frozen in time..

A Single White Lily..
Frozen times of bittersweet memories..
An endurance of heartache so profound..

A Single White Lily..
Held in my hand..
Had felt sad and blue..
As tears had rolled down my cheeks..
A Single tear drop had rolled onto my white lily..

A Single White Lily..
A Single tear drop
The essence of our soulful connection..
Shall always remain..
Though our journeys are far away..
Our soul connection is endless and timeless..

Truly touching, Robertina. Can just picture and feel (!) that white lily. I can feel myself holding it in my hand --- all that's left. Remarkable write! All the best, Gershon
