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..
