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

Sheri,
ReplyDeleteThis 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!!
