The Gift of You
Paired with what I wrote
I came out of the darkness
Awakened from a nightmare
I found you there
As if you had been waiting
All along
You took all my pain
All my despair
Spread it to the wind
Put my heart at ease
Caused it to beat
Let me smile
If just for a while…
Your eyes held me
Locked in time
Unable to take a breath
I could never ask for more
Only for less
Could never regret
Never forget
Because when I first saw you
I knew I was yours
prayed you were mine
Dreamed of a time
We were together
Many years later
Your kiss was unique
I felt you in it
As if we were one
Never before
Never again
Could I relive
Such bliss
Not even in sleep
Our time was short
But the pain is not
Not one memory of you
Haunts me
Except the one
Of you walking away
Two years have passed
And I still feel
that we were robbed
Of a gift
Stolen fate
Took you away
But I’ll always cherish
To the end of my days...
The gift
of you
For Bethany.
