Love Letter Never Sent

It has been a long time since I have heard your voice
I cannot remember the tone, but I remember how it
made me feel inside

I don't have any recent pictures of you but in my
mind I recognize your smile and I cannot help 
but smile myself when I imagine you there

I miss you more than anything else in my life and
I am fearful that I may become one of those people
who never recovers 

I see them everywhere now the hollow expressions
the people alone that is so unmistakably sad
I always felt sorry as I passed them never thinking
I would become part of that group

My mind at least takes over where my heart cannot
go.  I don't dwell on the bad things shared instead I
choose to remember the good

When it was good it was so very good, even Great
and I use to think to myself, I hope the Gods that
be don't get jealous of us and take it all away

I don't ever remember fighting if any, I just remember
your leaving me behind.  I guess things are as they
should be and you have moved on and started your
new life

I have to keep reminding myself that we are not
together any longer.  One of the hardest things for
me is not being able to share with you. No more
Sunsets, or walks on the beach, no more tasting
recipes made for two.  There are so many no mores 
I cannot write them all down

When one is young and starting a new life there
seems to be so much ahead, but when we can count
the years ahead as I do now, precious time is all we
have and what a heartfelt loss this all has been

Everyday for all of my life I will remember you
I will wish you well and send you my love, no matter
how far until I am no longer here or I can no longer
remember.

You were a precious and wonderful moment in my
life.  One of which I know will never come again...

Sharon, I felt every emotion of this write.. Your heart and soul on paper.. I have this little flicker of hope that we are destined for second chances if not with the ones we have lost then with someone new.. I cling to that.. Awesome write, hope you weekend will be a blessed one ;-) love Wilma

For the most part it's a sad thought of letter.. The feeling of never having that wonderful moment in life is wrong.. I myself find myself giving up a person who i thought gave me good moments,, and with sad thoughts i feel i will never have them again.. So i hope Audreys comment is true.. I need to feel them wonderful smiles all over again.. Enjoyed your poem, and have a wonderful blessed Thanksgiving day,. always,..P.D.
