Forever In My Heart
"I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it"
Quote _ by E.E. Cummings
My sweet love, you will always be in my heart
Breath of my very breath, your enchanting soul
You stay locked inside me, never to depart,
Being without you, I could never be whole.
When I think of you my eyes become teary
Recalling so many thrilling times we shared,
I struggle to move beyond, I grow weary,
But then, I recall how very much you cared.
Where'er I go, dear, I carry you along
It is comforting to know I'm not alone,
Forever, you are my verse; you are my song
Here in my heart, keeping me ever your own,
So, as time passes, I long to be with you
In other lovely places when life is through.
