Eternal Memories

Life without you seems so surreal, so unfair that you
                               are no longer here,
      yet I still feel your strong presence, smiling while 
                               shedding a tear.
      Although you've gone, so many memories reflect
                               through my mind,
In times of trouble, you were always there, treating
                                me so kind.
 The amazing times we shared, forever live within 
                                my heart.
Physically we are not together, but mentally we are 
                                never apart.
Constant reminders of your unique fragrance still linger
                                in the air,
        especially in your closet, still full of clothes you
                                loved to wear.
Ringing of your unique and contagious laughter still rings 
                                within my ears,
I know many more recollections like these will last a
                                 zillion years.
      A white dove visits often, reminding me of your
                                 angelic grace,
           every time I look into the mirror, I see your
                                  beautiful face.
Thank you for being my guardian angel, for showing signs 
                                 that you're around. 
Until we meet again my dearest, my love for you will
                                 continue to abound.
     In days or sorrow, you always soothed with words
                                 of sincerity.
        Even after death our special bond will remain 
                                 for eternity.

WoW! Cecile, You and Silent One penned such a moving collaboration. When our loved ones are no longer here physically, they live on in our heart and memories. The strong bond between two people is evident in this write, it still remains when a loved one has transitioned on. Excellent job. Have a wonderful day- Alexis
