I finally got a recording I really like and mastered it and released it. I feel like I did the poem and our love justice.

I will miss him forever. He was my best friend for 45 years. We were always in love. I am so glad we got it together at the end and we shared everything. We were engaged the last 5 months of his life.

I did not believe in love at first sight
its illogical at best
but faced with how I felt that day
and your memories now to overlay
It's clear that love at first sight has stood the test

I saw you in a flash and knew I needed to meet you
So compelled I walked out of a castle across a brick cobbled road
and I put on my best public face to impress
and I introduced myself in the most respectable way

And we then each knew the others names
and only recently you filled me in, you were aware of me too 
and felt the same

That first time we laughed together is when I consciously knew I loved you
The pull was not just crazy lust
And then at the photo shoot when I touched you and kissed your face
so electric I just about bust

And as you faced me and then we kissed on the lips for the very first time
an electric jolt that became molten in place
and for a split second I was yours and you were mine

And we both remember it all like it was yesterday
which is impossible but true a shared memory

I went looking for answers because its over the top
We are one soul spread in two bodies
They call it twin flame and I repeat

I have never felt so complete as when I am with you and at peace
it's everything and sublime
It just about stops time
And I am just so damn glad you are mine, and I am yours

That first time we laughed together is when I consciously knew I loved you
The pull was not just crazy lust
And then at the photo shoot when I touched you and kissed your face
so electric I just about bust

And as you faced me and then we kissed on the lips for the very first time
an electric jolt that became molten in place
and for a split second I was yours and you were mine
