Re: Memorial
MEMORIAL
I saw a car like yours today.
Instantly I felt remorse, regret…
And guilt – for not having told you how I felt.
I confess, I miss you yet.
For months I continued to dial the phone;
To tell you of things close to my heart.
And then when memory vividly dawned,
I tried my best not to fall apart.
You were a comfort, my steadfast friend.
I still see your smile, your sparkling eyes.
I miss our talks, the heartfelt banter
Of life’s ups and downs, the how’s and why’s.
I know in my soul you’re with your ‘maker;’
From this life you would depart.
Your leaving left me feeling empty;
You left me with a broken heart.
I miss you still; more than you know.
I wish I could turn back the hands of time.
I would have liked the chance to tell you
That I loved you…one more time.
