The air was cool and the candle flickered
Remembering kissing your lips one last time
And that was oh so many years ago
Holding you tight under the mistletoe
You ditched your boyfriend, so that pleased me
I was no dancer in fact you led me
Nodding your head like a referee
Following your footsteps, that's if I could
With my face looking like a piece of wood
We married of course, had kids one, two, three
But sadly I know those days are long gone
For your beautiful eyes no longer shone
You closed your sleepy eyes one last time
Now I'm lonely, lurking, hearing bells chime
I'll catch up with you I will guarantee
"I'll catch up with you..." is so moving. Such a sad and beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteSo poignant and touching - unconditional love itself
