The Bench In the Forest

Your beauty is breathtaking 
 as we sit amongst the trees. 
I will always remember this moment 
 when I try to go to sleep. 
I hope you will not leave too soon 
 I’m selfish in that way. 
I have so much to tell you 
 but I don’t know what to say. 
Why is it so hard for me 
 Lord please give me strength. 
My love for you is endless 
 as I sit alone on this bench. 
I wish you were beside me 
 to hold me through this pain. 
The tears are endless 
 it will never be the same. 
I want to carve our initials 
 on every tree I see. 
So when I hike the forest 
 you will always be with me.
