This poem was written for me by someone who, at the time, meant the world to me. He broke my heart but left me with some beautiful memories that, not even his harsh words could erase.

I held you in my arms last night, or so it seemed
 But when I awoke I found I'd only dreamed
I looked into your eyes,  my dear
  But I guess that I was wrong
  It must have been the stars, I fear
   To shine so bright and strong
   I love you more than words can tell
    More than tongue or pen can say
    I'll love you through all time, my dear
    Through eternity's bright day
