I Only Have a Photograph

I only have a photograph
to gaze at in the night
but with it comes sweet memories
of when you held me tight.

I only have this ring I wear, 
a gold piece on my finger,
but when I twirl it round and round,
thoughts of you still linger.

When I close my eyes
I see your face,
I feel your touch,
your warm embrace,
I feel your lips
upon my own,
for you were my king
and my heart 
was your thrown.
