Never Forgotten Love

I dream of you each night I miss you more each day This is how I cope Since you went away I sometimes stare at your picture I re-read the poems you wrote A long time ago I gave up any hope That one day you'd return To walk back through that door But as time passes by I know you won't be back no more At night I look to the heavens Just like we use to do I wish upon a star I say a prayer for you A prayer that what you wish for Will one day come your way When the night is over Happiness will find you the next day At the time I never understood Why you were so intent on leaving I know those first few days I spent my time just grieving But as the days slipped away I started to realize The loneliness I saw Each time I looked into your eyes So now I know that you had to go Because of what was missing inside Though it hurt to see you leave I'm not too proud to say I cried If you ever wonder Why I just let you go Letting go is also a way to show Someone how much you love them so True I may have lost you But in my heart I know That no matter what ever happens I did the right thing to let you go 8-28-09/RjH
