Still Burning Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Longing and yearning for you both day and night, wondering why we
parted so many years ago, what was it that made us part, wanting
you always through the years.

Thinking of you even in the middle of the night, cannot help my-
self at all, my darling, now you are married with children and
live so far away.

Yet we two still keep in touch, wanting to pick up where we left
off so long ago, my dear, talking and sharing the lives we no
longer have together.

Reasons abound, but logically have no meaning, so we continue to
have our moments together in conversations that we find time for,
constantly looking back as we talk so intimately these days.

Wishing with all our hearts that we could go back in time and
grasp all the moments of love and caring we left behind when we
were younger.

In dreams, holding and loving you so tenderly, not ever wanting
to let you disappear from my life again, our long lost love is
still burning even now in our hearts, my love, as it will forever.
