True Love Awaits

I never thought I'd be the type to say,
suppose at some point love gets to us all.
Hearts like your own can't be given away,
they have to be earned on top of the thrall.

Your embrace had such a powerful grip,
forever at peace when shielded by it. 
Said you were leaving my heart hit a skip, 
Left alone in an emotional pit.

I struggled with reason - what did I do
to lose the love of my life? Welcome, death
say how do? Of life I am all that is true.
My soul has passed on; I saved you my breath.

I hang my head now accepting defeat,
Deep in my heart she triggers it to beat.

Deep in my heart she triggers it to beat,
remembering love with all its embrace.
I'd give her my all and bow at her feet,
God only knows how I miss her dear face.

She is my definition of heaven,
and her love defined: the key to its gate.
Given her hand my glee it would deafen.
No fear in my heart at one with my fate.

I spend all day dreaming of her beauty,
most vivid images do not come by night.
Win her back that is my only duty,
so i wait for her with a lovers might.

So, all of these feelings I did convey,
I never thought I'd be the type to say.

Hello Dill Dennison, I have made this poem my fav. Everyone is going through something in illness. I sense that you are strong and a fighter with strength to get through this rough time. I am going through a rouge time in my family. My sis ter has lung cancer, she goes for surgery on the 12th of Sept. We are all positive.
