Remembrance

Sounds of silence
  Fill my ears.
As I shed 
  My sorrowed tears.

People pass
  Hug me and say
"We are sorry 
  It ended this way.

My mind then travels
  To when you were here.
To a time when
  Our love was so dear.

Places we visited
  Words that were said,   
All seem to drift
  Thru my head.

No more will I see
  Your eyes of blue,
No more will you whisper
  "I love you."

Why it happened
  I do not know.
It's going to be hard
  To let you go.

The memories we made
  Will remain in my heart.
Even though
  We had to part.
