Never Let Go


Letting go of something so perfect, so right

Is what I’ve tried to do with all my strength and might

The feelings within my soul have failed me in this great endeavor

And I know I’ll never let you go, now or forever


All the beautiful memories we made flood my mind like a tidal wave

Reflections that touched my life stay in my soul, cherished and saved

You are the only key that can unlock this ardent and devoted heart

And allow the reminiscences from within to escape and restart


Thoughts of time spent together touching, holding, kissing you

Sharing movies, going to eat, road trips, walks and dancing too

Our love of chocolate pies, long talks, house-looking and drives

Spending time with friends, at the Galaxy and quiet moments in our lives


Troublesome times tested our love and devotion

Only to find faithful adoration enhanced with loving emotion

We stood by and held each other’s hand with steadfast support

As our love grew and matured, never coming up short


Times away from each other were difficult at best

But that didn’t stop our love, which stood the test

Endless letters and phone calls kept our hearts in touch

Nothing could diminish what we had, no matter what


Our affections began as a rare, unpolished gem

Gaining facets and luster as daily growth began

Slowly, our love has become radiant, beautiful and hardy

A rare and priceless diamond among a sea of mediocrity


Letting go of our love and passion is not a choice

For it’s as natural and befitting as a singer using her voice

Still my knight in shining armor, and the love of my life

We are complete in each other’s arms every day and every night

  1. Sheri,
    This is such a nice love poem. I just signed on for the first time - I love the previous poem, am still reading. Thank you for sending me the link! I read about your nursing school endeavors, bravo for checking out something you have a gleaning for! Bravo for getting past the gross factor, that was always my stopping block! You have to try to know. I think caregiving and love are in your personality so you cannot fail if you choose this as your goal. I'm going to continue reading. You are a very good writer!!
