Let Me Cry

I dreamt last night
 a dream of memories once shared
 now lost to time's despair.
An anniversary passes
 and the date burns in my heart
 as if the years never depart.
Should you still think of me
 remember what bound us together
 held us inseparable in all weather.
Others forget the loss
 they say time heals all wounds
 but only in tears am I consumed.

A picture brings back your smile
 untouched by age and time
 but alone, I still walk the line.
The love we had paired
 in familiar places bring no pleasure
 and heartache is all I am left to measure,
It is an aching pain un-quenched
 within my soul treasured and spent
 from this love that dies, release me,
let me cry.
