Hanging On To Hope

I can’t stop thinking about you How loving you were to me The warmth that came across your face To penetrate my eyes with your beautiful eyes The smile and laughter that stole my heart Our bodies together- our love I can’t stop thinking about you Taking all my time with you before it all goes away The love I have for you is true So I grabbed all the time I could have with you Before the tide turned to gloom I can’t stop thinking of you I don’t want this to slip away Hanging on to hope

Did she die? Did you break up? Are you fearful that you will lose even the memory of times with her? I don't mean to sound dense, but the poem doesn't say.

Thanks for your comment. This is a release, sometimes in real time emotions, feelings, rawness. These writings are for me and if you read them take them for what they are. Words. As I’m not a writer, poet. Maybe this poem doesn’t say what happened because perhaps it’s in limbo at the time.
