Moving On?

As the sun caresses the world In her warm embrace to wake us, I held you. Like a toddler boldly stepping forth Into the wondrous adventure awaiting, I taught you. Admirer, collector, connoisseur of the fine, I found so much to admire in you, I appreciated you. Eyes twinkling starlight, impish grin, I learned much and you taught me to play, I grew with you. The glow of life, a bundle of joy, You gave me my dream of having a family, I was you. Romeo was just a passing fling, My love was King … none surpassed my strength, I loved you. Days now are just empty minutes, My new quest to find peace and move on, I forgive you. Cheeks wet, heart heavy, spirit strong, Mind firmly stuck on dusty, old Memory Lane, I miss you.
