Please Tell me You're not gone, even though You're not here, your memories still live on. I go about my day, trying not to remember, trying not to feel the pain. Everytime I close my eyes, your words come back to me, as You said goodbye. I often go back to the place, with tears running down my face. As I think back, I can almost hear You laugh. And now the years have gone by, the memories of you are strong inside. I remember what we had, and it hurts so bad. I close my eyes, and whisper to myself. Please tell me You're not Gone. As I held your hand, and held my breath. I softly whispered my love to You, as You tasted death. As You looked into my eyes, one last time, I seen that fire still burning in your eyes. You told me that it'd be okay, that I'd forget someday. And as You said I love you, that fire started to fade. The last words I heard as, You closed your eyes, was Always and Goodbye. As I stood in the rain, standing alone, at your grave. I brushed the tears away, and thought of You. I could almost feel your touch, I could almost feel your love. I sank to my knees, with a summer wind blowing, through the trees. I remembered all the times before, and knelt there until I remembered no more. I touched the fresh dirt, and could almsot feel your hand, clasped tightly in mine. As I slowly let go, I felt You touch melt away. Please Tell Me You're not Gone
Reason for writing:
I was sitting in my room in the Spring of '98. And I was thinking how terrible it would be to lose someone as special
as your Wife/Girlfriend/fill in the blank. And as I thought of that, these words to this poem started coming to me.
