Gone But Not Forgotten

Yes, you're gone but not forgotten, the memories still cling! Yes, I know that death must happen yet I'm still wondering! I have ten thousand anecdotes that only we have shared... Enough to stir ten thousand notes, enough to prove I cared... And yet I care more now than then, the grief consumes me still... Your passing is beyond my ken... In fact, it's made me ill... I hear your voice within the house, yes, even though you've gone! Although I'm silent as a mouse, your voice won't carry on! You speak my name, a moment's grace, a gift from God I think... I look around to see your face... my timing out of sync... I know you've gone! Your ghost abides! Your spirit dwells in dreams! Sometimes my spirit coincides as if we're joining streams... It's then that I fear for my mind... They say time heals our hearts... I pray God's healing I will find and that a new life starts... Perhaps I'm meant to love again! If so, then bless me now... In truth, I don't know where or when! What will the Lord allow? Yet if I stay a single soul, and marriage isn't mine... Down Memory Lane I'm proud to stroll to seek the Valentine Who stole my very heart away a long, long time ago... Though gone still loved this very day... As if you didn't know...
