Love Poem: Those We Love

Those We Love

Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us everyday
And when I feel my world begin to grow 
As dark as night
I feel the warmth of your hand gently holding mine  tight
The years have gone and at times  I lose track of time
And yet  to me it was only yesterday when you  were taken from my side
You vowed you would be beside me always
Yet always was not  meant for you and me
Always ended that second  day in January
I sat by your side and said goodbye
I kissed your check and tried not to cry
I let you go peacefully 
Knowing that  when it’s time for me to go 
You’ll be in the other side waiting  to greet  me
