True Love Waits

I watched the boat take off to distant shore With you embarked and me to stay behind No note from you to say goodbye, therefore My heart now is so torn, my eyes so blind For tears refuse to grant me time to see The speed with which you sail away so fast With every second more you steal from me My life with you so dear I thought would last Tentatively I step into the sea The water cold and numbing, in my mind My love is still as present as can be I blindly feel my way. If I could find.... I turn and walk, then run until I fall No more, no love, no more, once and for all *** The house is filled with memories and smiles The photos with us both on every wall My love, I see you walking down the aisle In love, in life, we both were standing tall I feel your kiss, your lips, you in my arms Your hair so blond, still tickles, makes me sneeze I revel in your giggles, feel so warm Without your presence I feel like I freeze I cannot say goodbye, linger a while Because I hear your sweet laugh all around And all I see is fun and grin and smile The tinkling of that all too precious sound I want you back if you still want to be The muse you were and always are to me *** For contest: True Love Waits - 2 English Sonnets Sponsor: Phillip Garcia October 25, 2016
