My Wife, My Life

by Brian Mackes - Aquarius

I have your picture next to my bed,
And I stare at it while I rest my head.

My mind is full of memories, the sweet things you've said,
As I reminisce over the day that we wed.

I remember the good times and all we've been through,
As for the rough times, I remember them too.

Aside from the lies, there's one thing that's true,
After many long years, I'm still in love with you.

And now that you're gone, I feel so alone,
Because I can't see you or reach you by phone.

All I can do is write you this poem,
And offer it to you, for it's all that I own.

I hope when you read it, you'll think of me,
And of the times when we were happy.

I hope that you realize that I am sorry,
And that I will love you for all eternity.
