I still think about her often.

The truth is my love
That I would look for you
In the eyes of other women
–
And the truth is
We were much too young
When our love blossomed and grew
Into an everyday miracle
Of something truly special
And we didn’t know what we had
Until it was lost
–
The truth is my love
That now
We may have lost it forever
But still a flame burns within me
A fledgling candle
Dancing in the breeze
Fragile yet unbreakable
–
The truth is my love
That I’ll leave a light on
As long as I live
For a love this pure
Resilient and wonderful
Comes only once in a lifetime
And every woman that comes along
I will forever compare with your glow
That lit up my world
Like nothing else has
–
The truth is my love
That my heart still burns for you
And always will

I have a lot of poems about the most special woman I’ve ever met and about losing her while I was locked up.
All the clichés are true for me, that every love song reminds me of her and that she’ll always be my favourite girl.
Deep down I know it’s for the best that she had a less volatile and bitter man in her life and that it’s better for me to move on but I still think about her often.
Although you’re moving on, it’s still nice to hold onto the memory of that special woman… and great love songs will also do that. Have a wonderful day, Christo.

Our relationships and our memories are an integral part of who we are. I would not want to be in a relationship with someone who felt threatened by my memories. This is a lovely poem and tribute to someone special to you. 🙂 Take care, Cheryl
