When I was blessed to hold you, I held heaven so very near
A love that held my dreams and that took away my fear
I never knew that I could be fulfilled in every way
How your smile lite up my life and blessed me with each day
If I could reach out and touch your heart, if only one more time
I know you would feel this love I have and how it is defined
I only hold on because this love for you is all that I know
I hold on because my hopes and dreams I just can not let go
Only you my love have my devoted, unconditional heart
For only you posses the key to pry these doors apart
I bind this love forever about the doors of fate
To await the day of your return, for you are worth the wait

John, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, don't forget there's a lady out there who loves you and need you more than ever. PurpleSky, your poem is tugging at my heart strings. I can feel your pain as your heart yearns for the love of John oncne again. Distance should never keep two people inlove apart. If he is yours, he'll come back to you. Just pray and let God do the rest. All my best to you. Avril

He never came back! I found my way back into the arms of my husband where I realised I was meant to be in the first place. I LEFT IT UP TO GOD and boy did he get it right lol

Beautiful!
Very sweet poem, Purple. And like poeticweaver said, I'm sure he's missing you jus as much. It's hard to be apart from someone you love, this I know very well, but it's also a time to really reflect. And you'll love him twice as much when you see him again. Bless you, and him all the same, and my best regards for your future.

This is the second heart felt poem of yours I have read on your break up with John. I first met him when he offered a ton of points to help with the contests I sponsored for teens and adults with no trophys. I used his backgrounds for all my contests with his permission. He seems so kind and gentle. I wish you both well.
