I Take You With Me

Breathe in the now salty air of yesterday
Hear again the waves upon the shore
Feel my hand gently touch upon yours
Days like that, I wish that there were more
Time has made itself our greatest enemy
Wedging there between us, a barrier strong
Though, it’s just like yesterday that I had found you
And within your life, I knew that I’d belong 
 
My passing is not one that I had welcomed
We knew that one day it was sure to end
Be happy in the love that we had shared then
Be happy in the love to you, that I now send
Hear then upon the breeze, so gentle, blowing
My voice as it so calls to you from here
My love, I hold you deeply now, eternal
Though gone from you, I still hold you ever near

Mike this is very evocative. Thanks for reading and commenting on my work. Watch out for the dreaded THAT makes sure it's totally necessary and adds rather than detracts from the importance of each sentiment. Light & Love Debbie Guzzi
