Lovers Plea

Gentle touches have left my hand 
On borrowed time my morals stand

My heart what once belonged to thee
Has shattered and been left to bleed

No tenderness and no more laughter
Just sad and bitter life hereafter

Come back and grace me with your time
Allow my light to once more shine

Wipe dry the tears that stain my soul
Return the magic; warm the cold

And if I’m not to love again
Rather pass time with closest friend

Please remember through eternity
My best memories were made with thee

Yes, Lena, although I couldn't have said it nearly as well. How does the song go...you "found my letters and read each one out loud" for all to hear. This goes to my favorites...oh, and congratulations on your placement. Great poem.
