Love of a lifetime

Its been long frozen time without you
Without you holding me tight
in your strong arms yet with the
warmth and tenderness of a blossoming flower;
Your soft, caring touches and emotion in your voice
Still sends a chill running up my spine;
I can still feel your presence, the
fragrance in your breath;
Then, comes the awful realization
and salty drops of overwhelming emotions
emerge out from my eyes
taking away with it
the debris of shattered dreams
I miss you
I miss those soothing winds and strolls
We used to make in the woods
in those starlit nights;
But, now I wonder
you are one of those countless stars
twinkling brightly in the sky
and in my heart
promising love forever
I know you are still alive
you are still alive-
In my thoughts;
In my mind;
In my soul;
In very profoundities of my life;
In every ounce of my feelings;
Those precious moments, we spent together;
Their memories will never fade
and will linger on till I die;
Death can’t make us part;
For I loved you;
For I love you;
For you are my love of a lifetime;
and even after death
I will keep loving you forever and ever…
