We were supposed to grow old
sitting on the front porch swing
and laugh until the stars disappeared.
You saved the dark chocolate for me
brought me white roses
just because,
and turned a bashful girl
into a princess,
but midnight came too soon.
~
You promised to always be here
no matter what!
You always loved my poetry.
I never dreamed I would recite it
at a funeral for my best friend.
I see you lying there so peacefully,
but, I will never believe that you are gone.
~
I feel your hand on my shoulder
when I feel I can't go on,
and sometimes, I feel your smile
when sunshine blooms my flowers.
For every magical moment
since you've been gone,
and every light in my life,
I feel the flutter of your presence
and I smile,
knowing you kept your promise.
♥♥
