Dearest love... I play this song for you, even if it is hard to hear. I use my heart to beat... clearly, the rhythm of my life, the very measure of my soul. "You... you... you..." I whisper your name low, just out of range, yet unceasingly in cycles... the tempo some times fast, and sometimes slow. The reality of the moment, the hope, the wish... that you would never go. Stay with me now, stay with me later. Be mine, beyond time. Let us learn the very boundaries... of tomorrow, together, in our search for forever.

This had to be written by a woman in love "Let us learn the very boundaries... of tomorrow, together, in our search for forever. " Congrats!

Wow.. that fits too. I was thinking of my husband to be. He has bone cancer, and life is too short. But as I consider, it applies to so many in my life... and the tears fall... Hugs... Ann
