One Year Ago Last Poem by Danny Speicher

One year ago last, I last saw your face
Lovely to view, eyes spark'ling just for me
Love blossoming for all the world to see
Oh, how I long to go back to that place

If I'd known I'd never see you again
I would have savored that image much more
I would have shown love deeper than before
Oh, if I had just known it was the end

Images flash across my mind of you
Standing at the door as I drove away
Neither knowing it would be our last day
Oh, if we had just known, what would we do

One year ago last, I last saw your face
Oh, how I long to go back to that place
