Everlasting Love

Happiness powers me when we’re together,
I held your hand tightly, every moment we should savor,
Hold on, keep moving, never ever let go,
Words can never show how much I love you. 

Tears falling, my heart hurting,
Staring at you dear, so agonizing,
I know you’re on total pain, please don’t cry,
The afterlife is beautiful, you can fly. 

I smiled a bitter smile as I glanced at you,
Peacefully sleeping, clutching the garment I sew,
I bit my lip, trying to be contented and happy,
Though you’re happy, you already left me. 

Think of me when you get there my love,
Think of the memories we both shared and had,
Wait for me darling, I’ll be there soon,
In the afterlife, I’ll never wait for the blue moon.
