Notes About The Poem

If I Could Rewind Time

I sit amongst the lavender with thoughts of him
in his arms melting firmly in the moonlight dim.

His lips upon mine as my body would ignite;
my blushed face buried in his neck as he squeezed tight.

He did not need to tell me twice that he loved me, 
for it was in his smile for all the world to see.

He was the bright skies that made me rise at sunrise,
the caring breath in my lungs that made the earth rise.

Thought of waking up without him terrifies me;
if I could rewind time to bring him back to me.

I am so glad that you found each other; I know two women who never found their love, and they are lamenting it now. You have so much to think of and smile about and be glad about, and you have a person waiting in heaven, which they do not have. A sweet and loving tribute. I am sorry for your loss. Keep writing about it; I am told that it helps.
