Gleam In My Eyes

You were the flame to my wick, you were the wax to my stick, you were the sun to my heart, you were the glue, when I fell apart. You were the only one I ever loved, now that your gone, your all I think of. I still remember your face when you said good-bye, they took you away like a thief in the night, on your 16th birthday you had died, my only true friend in my life. I would have sacrificed everything! including my life. I remember being at your side, and I remember all the tears that I cried. Our love was a fairy tale, where dreams came true, and it would all end well. I remember all the poems that we wrote, just you and I, singing our song, and writing our own lullaby, I remember your final words to me, that dark night, playing our favorite game called, (what are we tonight), and I said "I am the eagle watching the setting sun," and you replied, "if you're the eagle, I am the sun that floats across the sky, I am the one who put that gleam in your eyes." This poem goes out to my angel in the sky. 1967-1983

Thanks sweetie for your comment, we all have loss in our lives, but it how we deal with it and deal with it we must, it took me many years to find myself again after the loss of a truly great friend, our world was wrapped around each other. I tried so hard to put her out of my head and that was my mistake, I realize that the people we love and lose throughout our lives, must be thought of cause they live in us and knowing this, makes them immortal, now my sadness, is not there anymore, I can think back and remember all the great times we had together and nothing can take that away.
