The Memory Vault

Dearest Love...Hear my voice...1

Today marks the date that we last spoke, and expressed our love so true.  You closed your eyes and went to sleep to travel the sky so blue. Beyond the sunset you took a trip never to return. God kept you for his humble servant, that day he called you home.2

I wanted to go home with you and stay close by your side, but God wasn't ready for me; so I stayed here and cried. It's really lonely here without you, and I miss you every day. I feel part of me is missing since God took you away3

Each morning we sat on the patio and drink our coffee brew. Thanking God for what we owned, and good health for me and you.4

We were happy just being together, doing things we like to do. You would wink at me across the yard, and I would throw a kiss to you.5

You were a master gardener, planting anything that grew. Everything was prolific in growth, that you touched with your heart and your green thumb , too. I enjoyed doing the landscaping to make a perfect view. A bird sanctuary near our patio was lively and welcomed the singing birds , too.6

The yard is no longer the same, it's rundown and silent too. Everything including me has lost interest, when you were taken away. It's all that I can make myself do, is to maintain the natural way.7

Today I will remove your possessions, things no one else can use. Donate some to charity, keeping small treasures of some memories too.8

The sheer happiness that we experienced, I will lock in a memory vault of the past. A treasure set aside in my heart that will forever last and last.9

Looking forward to a future with a promise and a faint smile, opening my heart and mind to a new life; remembering you all the while. If I find another companion to share my life with me, no way will I compare the two of you, for that can never be.10

What we had in the past, no one can ever take away. You were a soul-mate I'll never forget, for I'll love you everyday.11

I must move on to a new life and leave the past behind. The years that lie ahead of me, will be burdened with age and time. There must be someone out there that wants a life to share. I will be a devoted partner to someone that really cares.12

Someone lonely like me, that will let me hold his hand. Someone that needs a good woman and he can be my man.13

You will always be in my heart, and always on my mind: but today I must lock our perfect life in a vault, And leave our precious memories behind...14

To my loving soul-mate...
