Love Poem: Whenever You Cross My Mind

Whenever You Cross My Mind

Whenever you cross my mind
I get a smile every time 
And you know it’s every day 
When I can see your face

Back to remember when
I think of once again
When you were holding me
How I loved your company 

The loving that we’d share
Would sometimes take the air
The sparks flew from our eyes
And fueled us with desire

You gave me all you could
And loved me as you should
How I lost you oh so soon
I sometimes ask the moon

When I stare up in the sky
And remember you and I 
We’d never any strife
So much love that filled our lives 

You held me oh so tenderly
We cherished all our memories 
If my wishes would come true
I’d wish I was still with you

For life is so much harder
When I’m left alone to barter 
Alone now in this world
Yet true love was once my pearl

I have so much to think about
And miss you as I go around
But thoughts of us together 
Will carry me through forever
