Have I Ever Told You That

HAVE I EVER TOLD YOU THAT…

Have I ever told you that,
my love belongs to you.
Forever to the end of time,
I’ve promised … to be true?

Have I ever told you that,
you’ve made my life worthwhile,
Your wonderful sense of humor, 
has always made me … smile?

Have I ever told you that,
I don’t want to go away,
But my life’s drawing to a close,
with you … I cannot stay?

Have I ever told that,
I’m wondering when I’m gone.
How soon you will forget me,
to another one … belong?

This is poignant and soulful. You must suffer but it is redeeming that you think to share.

Oh, this is wonderfully written, Barabara. So poignant, tender, and then in the last two stanza, so utterly heart-rending. For me a topnotch FAVE. Thank you writing a brilliant poem and sharing it with us on the Soup. Peace and Serenity, Gershon
