i lied in bed next to her, as her life br drained from her body br she was not wishing me goodbye br but was welcoming me home. br br home into her heart, where i was br such a big part. br we shared hopes, dreams, memories br and joys beyond compare. br for alongside me she was always there. br br together we smelled the roses br and looked up to the skies br seeing clouds forming shapes br and asking ourselves why? br br a letter, a note, little things you wrote br a smile, a laughter, little things we did after. br br i feel the warmth of your love br filling my every being br touching my soul br and giving me meaning. br br now i know just what you meant br that we would never part. br for the truest gift in life is love br which stays within the heart.
