A half empty bottle of perfume
A crumpled note
A tear stained blanket
and only memories for pictures…
only the memory
of eyes
the colour of the raging sea
lit by the sun
full of passion
and love
as they looked
deeply
and intensely
into mine…
The touch of his fingers
gently pushing my hair
out of my eyes
The feel of his chest
against my cheek
as I lay in his arms
listening
to his heart beat
Cherished
Adored
Loved
Unspoken words between us
but knowing
instinctively
by the way he touched me
I touched him
We came together…
So natural…
Yet fire
It has been so long now
Circumstance and time
are not our friends
I thought I was strong
but
memories of love
are stronger
Memories of him
are stronger
So this night my tears flow
and my heart
and
soul ache
Love never faded
with time
still
lives on…
Love fated
never
to be reunited
again…
