A Single Flower

Death came today... 
taking my sweet Jess from me; 
to an even better place, I pray, 
than this life we shared so passionately. 

If only I could just hold her, 
keep her a moment more; 
but alas, God has called for her, 
now she sleeps evermore. 

So many small things I should have told her, 
too many feelings left unsaid; 
I can only hope she sensed my love 
was stronger than words instead. 

As I pass through this day of lost love, 
there is but one thing to lessen my pain: 
her promise that one day, 
our two souls will be one again. 

So someplace I'll plant a single flower, 
brighten a lonely place; 
and hope she knows it blooms for two, 
an endless love for one never to be replaced.
