Loving You Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

I love you, even as I turn away from you in sorrow,
many moments of happiness have crept into my life
since I have known you the second time around.

To continue without you, I must treasure these very
moments forever in my mind, there will never be an-
other, so the ones I hold within my mind are priceless.

No one will ever come close to them, only me in my
fondest memories, I've reached out many times and
found you there waiting, now it seems to be no more.

From depths of my soul I cry out and look to find no
one there, sad, the day I met you, because now I must
let you go and I don't want to.

Our friendship has been a treasure held in heaven, I
have loved it so, on different paths now, we go our
separate ways, each in our own sorrow.

Looking back, tears flowing steadily, I stop and turn
around, running back to you, hugging you close, not
wanting our friendship to be destroyed.

Deeply sorrowful am I, but I must keep you close to
my heart as life nears it's end and our friendship
slips away with me to heaven.

There I will be awaiting you to fulfill it's quest
in full when we meet again in heaven.
