Hours and Days

 

The hours seemed endless.

I thought the days would never come to an end.

But now that they are gone,

I wish that I had them back again.

I wish this day would never end

As I look at you now I think:

This may be the last time I ever look at you for the rest of my life.

I have known you for many years,

But not till now do I wish I could know you longer.

You are leaving but I will be staying.

There are so many things around me that remind me of you.

 

Now that you are gone and I have said my last good-bye,

I think of all the chances that I had to tell you how I felt.

I will never forget you.

For all my life I will see your face in the stars,

Smiling down at me.

Twenty years from now I sill think of you,

Of your smile,

Your eyes,

Your soft voice talking to me.

You will be with me for the rest of my life.
