The one I left

To the One I Lost

He was the blue eyes of the Med,
the porcelain skin of a milky breast.
He had the sweetest lips,
and a smile I couldn’t deny.

His kisses were like the soft rain
touching the forest of my soul.
His love was my reason,
his being, my only breath.

His presence was the only one I wanted.
His voice was the music to my heart.
His loss—I still feel today,
after 34 years apart.

I did not deserve you.
I did not cherish you.
I was young and foolish.
What I’d do to have you back.

You were my twin flame,
my saviour, my eternal love.
I pray to God that someday you will see
what you are to me.

I pray every day you will forgive.
I love you to my dying day.
I love you even through death.
I love you.
