The tentative moments we shared learning to love and trust one another,
The intimate shared moments when we invisioned our lives together,
The unforgettable day I asked you to be my bride,
And the breathless yes that escaped your lips on a wonderous sigh.
The happy carefree days spent cocooned in each others love,
The future, our future, waiting with open arms to embrace us,
My hopes, my dreams, intricately intwined with yours,
Had any two people ever known such an all consuming love?
And then, in events so sudden, i thought i'd imagined it.....you were gone....
In the space of a few hours my whole life was destroyed beyond living,
My life, which once contained so much contentment, happiness and peace,
Now emersed in feelings of unbearable pain, bewilderment and anger.
The desolate thought of lonely years, stretching ahead, without you by my side,
The constant ache in my heart, where you resided for so long,
The lonely empty nights without you in my arms where you belong,
And the beautiful image of your perfection that even now haunts my dreams.
You were my vision when I opened my eyes each morning,
You were the very breathe that circulated throughout my body,
You were the reason my heart continued to beat so strongly,
Oh, my darling you were my very existance.
They say that with time the most tortured heart will heal,
But how do you heal a heart that cannot beat without you?
A heart that cries out constantly in anguish for itĘs mate,
A heart that from the moment i saw you belonged to you.
The promises I made you in life are still as strong in death,
Death may seperate us for a temporary space in time,
But I promise you this...my heart and yours are destined to be together,
So until that time comes, my love, wait for me,
And once again our two hearts will beat as one....
Written for Ed Gossett in memory of his fiance, whom he loved more than life itself...
