You'Re Every Breath I Take

_______________________________________ With your hand resting in mine I was strong, you were my true north, my anchor, my rock; and I thought we had this life together, that great love could survive all weather. Within your embrace is where I belong, but there is a book written and a clock; our love was not to be forever, my sweet love, I will not let go- NEVER. Your were my world just like in the song, 'till on our door destiny came to knock; and you had to leave me for Heaven's gate it was long written and it was your fate. I will not forget you my whole lifelong, and the clock of time is loud tick-tock, tock; I thought that without you my world would end, but each day I feel your great love descend. ____________________________ June 15, 2018 Written for the contest, Grens Evergreens #4 Cilla Black sponsor, Teppo Gren Rhyme Pattern - abcc abdd abee abdd abff
