My Heart

I thought of you again
My heart aches.
I push you out of my mind,
I protect my heart.

Your Hug

I miss your hug in the morning,
I miss your kiss when I leave.
I miss your embrace when I return, and
I miss your smile in the evening.
But, mostly, I miss you being here.

One more chance

If I had just one more chance,
I would hold you tighter,
Listen closer,
Walk farther, and
Laugh louder.
Then, maybe, you would stay longer.

In My Arms

I held you in my arms as we rocked in the mornings.
I remember the smells, I remember the sounds.
It was for a short time, each time, for a while.
It was so long ago though.
I close my eyes and there you are.
No, not really, just the memories.

Remember

Come
Closer now
Together lets touch the past
Don't turn away
If only for a moment
We will return
A quieter place
Let's remember
While its near

Promise

There are parts of you I can't remember
And parts I will forget
But it's all of you I miss
I look for you while I'm out
Fearing I might see you
Not as you were
Lets sit together and rock one more time
Just for me
I promise to hold you tighter
I believe I might change the future
If I could touch the past

Gone

You're gone now
Older than before
I watched you ride away then
And waited for your return
And you did
But not now
I look down the way
Waiting
Missing
