All That's Left

I cannot forget you not today or ever I can’t let go of what held us together A soft gentle touch on the side of my face Your hot burning kisses that last for days A candle light dinner, underneath the stars Soft gentle hands, oil, and a massage Trying to let go within myself But memories of you is all that’s left Bodies melting together on summer’s night Burning desires taking me to new heights Flowers and pictures hanging on the wall Pride always comes before a great fall Never not ever got over your death Memories in my heart is all that’s left Your face rotating in my mind on repeat To many nights without enough sleep Holding on to something I’ll never get back Your shirts and ties on the table in a stack Seeing your shadow passing in the night Quickly floating out of my sight Wondering about some of the things you said Hurting, remembering you while crying in bed When I thought I couldn’t do anything right Your comfort made everything shine so bright I will not give you up, no one should dare try To make me forget or even say goodbye Everything you were I’ll keep to myself And realize that of you Memories is all I have left

Thanks Sherry, Sometimes memories is all we have left of the ones that we love. We have to cherish them and sometime do not want to let go. Thanks so much, and many blessings!!!
