You let me go,
You found someone new.
I just want you to know,
That I still love you.
You let me go,
You went away.
You did know,
That I wanted you to stay.
You let me go,
You didn't care.
You had to know,
You were my teddy bear.
My life is so empty,
Without my true love.
You should have kept me,
When push came to shove.
I think of you,
Most every night.
I wish I knew,
How to make things right.
I never will forget,
You and I.
From the first day we met,
Till the day I die.
Its hard to keep going,
Day after day.
Take comfort in knowing,
That I'll find a way.
I will move on,
I'll find someone new.
But my one chance is gone,
For someone like you.
You let me go,
You found someone new.
I just want you to know,
That I still love you.
Always in my Heart and Dreams,
POEMS
I am in My Heaven
I am in my heaven.
Your soft embrace is like the warm sun,
When I am in your arms,
My head nestled against your chest,
Your arms lovingly wrapped around my body,
The sound of your heart beating in my ear,
There can be no better place.
You are like a goddess to me,
I admire, love, honor and respect everything that is you.
When we are apart,
You are the only thing I can think of.
Spring has Arrived
Spring has arrived,
The earth is again alive.
I had cried,
I thought you had died.
Seeing your rejuvenation has touched my soul,
Inspired me to reach my every goal.
A Dream
I can feel your warmth in my arms,
I can smell the fragrance in your hair,
I can hear your wondrous laughter.
I suddenly realize that it was a dream.
I cannot feel your warmth,
I cannot smell your hair,
I cannot hear you laughter.
I miss you so much.
You
Your eyes are a deep blue,
The wonderful color of the water around me.
Your hair flows exquisitely,
The swells of the sea I swim in.
Your skin is smooth and beautiful,
The wet sand on the beach I stroll across.
Your musical voice,
The sound of the waves I love to hear.
Your high aspirations,
The gulls in flight looking down upon me.
Your loving heart,
The warm sun which makes me warm inside.
Your kindness,
The waves that give and take again.
Your delicate touch,
The light breeze which makes my skin tingle.
Your wonderful scent,
The salt air overloading my senses
If Tomorrow Never Comes..
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in tighter
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say love you,
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more
so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.
There will always be another day
to say our," I love you's,"
And certainly there's another chance
to say our. " Anything I can do's?"
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
So always hold them dear.
Take time to say I'm sorry, Please forgive
me, Thank you, or It's okay.
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today...
Why?
Why must I forever be alone?
Why can't I find love that lasts?
Am I not deserving of love?
Of a feeling that numbs all pain?
Of an emotion that cannot be spoken?
Of a completeness like none other?
Have I not searched for love?
For the eternal warmth of a fire?
For the soft embrace of a woman?
For the last piece that completes my puzzle?
Why must I forever be alone?
Why can't I find love that lasts?
A Memory
You are nothing but a memory of once was.
What shall never be again.
I am reminded of you daily.
Pieces of you are in everything around me.
I can still smell your hair.
I can still feel your touch.
I can still taste your lips.
I can still see your smile.
I can still sense your closeness.
These things I will treasure forever.
My memory of you may fade but shall never be replaced
Get Well Soon
I hope this flower puts a smile on your face,
A little fun in a boring place.
A ray of sunshine in your day of gloom.
I hope you get well real soon.
We keep putting the gym on hold,
Pretty soon itll get cold.
Then my work will move away,
Even though I want it to stay.
We will no longer be able to go,
To the favorite place that we know.
Well have to settle for something less,
And the Mall of America does not impress.
You always have fun when youre with me,
So we can still go and see a movie.
But wait... we still have two months to go,
Before the rain turns to snow.
So get well and give me a call,
Before summer turns into fall.
For then the gym is said and done,
And our workout days will be none.
So I hope this little poem gave you a smile,
One that stretches for a whole mile.
If not at least I tried,
But I must stop since my brain is fried
You Have Never Noticed Me
I see you every day and yet you have never noticed me.
I stare at you and you stare right past me.
Your smiles my direction are meant for someone else.
I try my hardest for you to notice me,
But you are blind.
The sharpness of your mind,
The sweetness of your lips,
The softness of your skin.
Your beautiful laugh,
Your glorious smile,
Your perfect body.
All of me loves all of you.
It seems only yesterday we were in each other's arms.
Head to head,
Cheek to cheek,
Heart to heart,
Soul to soul.
There has never been a love like you in my heart.
A love that was stronger than its host,
A love that strengthened my heart,
But now that visitor has left and my heart is empty.
You are...
You are my poison,
You are my sweet.
You are a toxin,
You are good enough to eat.
You have gutted my heart,
You have filled it too.
And when we're apart,
I miss you.
Give me your best,
Give me your worst.
Give me all of you,
To quench my thirst
Homecoming
A night of music,
Of fun and laughter.
A beautiful story,
Like Cinderella in Ever After.
We shall dance,
We shall dine.
It'll be the best,
You'll have a good time.
Say yes to me,
You'll have fun.
A night to remember,
When it's done.
What can you lose,
Give me a chance.
Say you'll go with me,
To the Homecoming Dance.
You know me,
I'm certain that's right.
How bad could it be,
It's just one night.
I can picture you,
In a beautiful gown.
Looking so royal,
I search for your crown.
Let me make you a princess,
For just a few hours.
I'll bring you gifts of candy and chocolate,
I'll shower you with flowers.
Just say yes,
You won't regret.
It's going to be a night,
You'll never forget.
I Awake
I awake one morning to find you gone,
No note, no word... no goodbye.
My world suddenly is so empty... so cold,
Missing the fullness and warmth you provided.
The days seem long... the nights even longer,
No smile comes to my face.
I wish for old times,
I pray for your return.
I hope one morning I shall never wake,
Never to bear another day alone.
Without you in my world,
My life is empty and cold.
Answer to my Prayers
I approach your door,
My palms sweat and I tense up,
I wait for you.
When I see your smiling face,
Your entire silhouette glowing with light,
I worry that the rose I have brought,
As beautiful as it may be,
Will see your sheer magnificence and wilt with jealousy.
I stand in awe of all that you are,
More than I ever imagined.
I ask God why he has offered you to my eyes,
Such a feast of beauty,
Not understanding the reason for my good fortune.
I realize that you are the product of prayer and patience,
An answer long overdue.
Like any night, I knew it would have to end,
So I savor each moment to its fullest,
Keeping each morsel safely stored,
A part of me for all time.
Goodbye
Losing my most treasured possession,
Stolen by someone unknown.
I must make this confession,
I will not sit by the phone.
The loss I have suffered is not so bad,
We were together for so long.
For some reason I do not feel sad,
For tomorrow I will sing a new song.
The loss of something I believed to be key,
Which should have cause me strife.
Has now in fact set me free,
To do what I want with my life.
I say goodbye to you,
Goodbye forever.
I'll find something new,
But you I'll always remember
In Reflection
Looking back on days past,
Seeing the world in a brighter light,
I regret my cowardice in love.
Observing today I know what I have missed,
Understanding how unfortunate I truly was,
I had let love slip by.
Now I am bound by my own past,
Never to cross it again,
Forever marked by the old.
Longing to go back in time,
To go back to right my wrong,
To go back for you.
Yet now my spine is weaker still,
I have no courage,
Reflection of the past shall forever be my baggage.
That Is Love
I love you like I have loved no other.
You may ask how I know I am in love,
Well let me tell you what love is.
When I am holding you in my arms,
I feel content and peaceful,
That is love.
When we are together,
I want to be nowhere else,
That is love.
When I do anything for you,
Just to see you smile,
That is love.
When you are sad,
I make you happy,
That is love.
When tears come to my eyes,
When I think of you and him,
That is love.
When we kiss,
And the world stands still,
That is love.
I love you. You are the one thing that can always make me happy.
You know I love you,
And yet you play games with my heart.
I know you do not mean it,
But each time you do it my heart grows weaker.
I Sit Here On Valentine's Day
I sit hear on Valentine's day,
Longing to be with you.
I miss your smile,
I miss your smell,
I miss your laugh.
But most of all I miss your warmth
My Life is in Constant Motion
My life is in constant motion,
I have no chance to stand still.
I cannot go back,
I must continue on.
I've missed so much traveling down the road,
More worried about the destination than the trip.
Some days I wonder if I took the wrong turn on the highway,
But I have no map,
I make my own destination.
I wonder when our journeys will pass each other again.
What wondrous adventures will you have had?
What wondrous adventures will I?
Maybe someday our journeys will pass each other again.
I hope we will share our stories,
Our laughter,
Our sorrow,
I can't wait until that day.
You are everything to me.
I love you not only for what you are,
but for what I am when I am with you
As we grow older together,
As we continue to change with age,
There is one thing that will never change...
I will always keep falling in love with you.
As I stand here today with the world as my witness,
I pledge to you my undying and everlasting love.
I will stand beside you as your partner,
I will stand before you as your protector,
And I will stand behind you as your solace.
Please spend and end your life with me.
- Earl -
Your lips speak soft sweetness,
Your touch a cool caress,
I am lost in your magic,
My heart beats within your chest,
I think of you each morning,
And dream of you each night,
I think of your arms being around me,
And cannot express my delight,
Never have I fallen,
But I am quickly on my way,
You hold a heart in your hands,
That has never before been given away.

Elizabeth Akers Allen
Though there are shadows on my brow
And furrows on my cheek, in truth,�
The marks where Time's remorseless plough
Broke up the blooming sward of Youth,�
Though fled is every girlish grace
Might win or hold a lover's vow,
Despite my sad and faded face,
And darkened heart, you love me now!
I count no more my wasted tears;
They left no echo of their fall;
I mourn no more my lonesome years;
This blessed hour atones for all.
I fear not all that Time or Fate
May bring to burden heart or brow,�
Strong in the love that came so late,
Our souls shall keep it always now!
For you I would climb
The highest mountain peak
Swim the deepest ocean
Your love I do seek.
For you I would cross
The rivers most wide
Walk the hottest desert sand
To have you by my side.
For you are the one
Who makes me whole
You've captured my heart
And touched my soul.
For you are the one
That stepped out of my dreams
Gave me new hope
Showed me what love means.
For you alone
Are my reason to live
For the compassion you show
And the care that you give.
You came into my life
And made me complete
Each time I see you
My heart skips a beat.
For you define beauty
In both body and mind
Your soft, gentle face
More beauty I'll ne'er find.
For you are the one
God sent from above
The angel I needed
For whom I do love
At Last
At last, when all the summer shine
That warmed life's early hours is past,
Your loving fingers seek for mine
And hold them close�at last�at last!
Not oft the robin comes to build
Its nest upon the leafless bough
By autumn robbed, by winter chilled,�
But you, dear heart, you love me now.
