Welcome Home

i lied in bed next to her, as her life drained from her body she was not wishing me goodbye but was welcoming me home. home into her heart, where i was such a big part. we shared hopes, dreams, memories and joys beyond compare. for alongside me she was always there. together we smelled the roses and looked up to the skies seeing clouds forming shapes and asking ourselves why? a letter, a note, little things you wrote a smile, a laughter, little things we did after. i feel the warmth of your love filling my every being touching my soul and giving me meaning. now i know just what you meant that we would never part. for the truest gift in life is love which stays within the heart.
