On That Day

On the day I realized we could no longer be, my eyes filled heavy with tears so that 
I could not see, MY heart sunk so low it missed a beat, my hands trembled and my 
knees went weak. As hard as it was to stand up straight, I forced myself to see 
your face.
I opened my mouth as to speak but all I heard was a squeak. You gently wiped the 
tears from my face, telling me not to speak. After kissing both of my eyes I looked  
up to see your tear streaked face, leaving no answers and no regrets. 
Slowly waking away you turned one last time to say : You're mine forever, we did 
what we did and that is that.
With the passing of time that day still shines in my mind, I catch myself saying : 
You're forever mine with  no regrets that we did what we did.

Very heart felt and touching. Poems are always better when swayed with emotions as this one was. Uniquely written.
