The Love I Left Behind. Poem by Reginald Walker

Sweetheart, I just want to let you know.
I am reminded of you where ever I go.
I constantly think of my love I left behind.
Memories of you are always on my mind.

Often I think of the marvelous joy.
That comes the moment I open home’s front door.
I imagine the excitement of seeing you again.
The wonderful joy returning home to you will bring.

I dream of tenderly holding hands with you.
I can almost hear that funny laugh that you do,
Every time you see something funny on TV,
While sitting on the couch watching a movie.

I wish that I could be right there somehow.
I crave to hold you in my arms right now.
I desire to express my deep love for you.
I need to hear you say, ‘Honey I love you, too.’

Memories of you always linger on my mind.
I yearn for my precious love I left behind.
Sweetheart, sometimes it is hard for me to wait,
Upon the day I get to come home to my soul mate.
