There was a time when the world was beautiful
and we were destined to be lovers forever
nothing brought us sadness
   we were devoted
like sunrise is to morning like sunset is to the night
now all I have are memories drifting through my soul

I cry for your last whispered breath
days mean nothing, tomorrows are gone
our lives vanished like a passing wind
sweeping away time...sweeping away growing old

we meet in my dreams
where we still dance and I bring you flowers
dreams come and go...pain stays...pain stays
   so I cry, needing to dream
dreams are not what I need, it's you I need
   to see, to hold, to kiss again

I fall to my knees each time I visit your grave
and cry until I can't cry anymore
   Why...were you taken?
you were the beauty, the light, the paradise
we would have filled our tomorrows with so much love
that its glow would have blinded the night

What now love, what now? My heart is yours
my soul is yours, to be shared when we meet again
so we may be lovers in the heavenly stars forever

So very sad, sincere, sensitive, a tale of loss that stirs the soul and causes those who empathize with you to realize that this expression of your loss is only one trembling breath composed of so much love, so much loss, so much longing... So very emotive, so very powerful, such a wonderful gift to the reader and such a blessed POTD. Congratulations and much love. God bless you, Gina

Hello Frederic, First, congratulations on your POTD. It is a wonderful, heartbreaking, and beautiful love story. I have been married 42 years and I dread the day that we will be separated in death. However, I know that our Dear God will reunite us again in heaven to walk and talk among the gardens. You so deserve this POTD. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Gosh this is such a heart wrenching elegy, it feels so sincere and so soulful, the ending especially made me feel so much dear frederick. I cant even imagine this feeling “ What now love, what now? My heart is yours my soul is yours,” sigh! This is so poignant! And just beautiful! Congratulations on potd and best wishes..
