So Silently Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Though I walk on in life without you
you remain in my heart
If it was ever dissected and categorized
You'd likely still be the nicest part

In dreams that are sweeter than life
I remember our meeting so gentle, hopeful and serene
The rays of light from it seemed so pure and clean
and I dreamed in dreams you'd somehow be my wife

But fairy tales don't happen to me
I wish they could one day be
And I wasn't discarded on love's cold sea
With nobody to dare to accompany me

I felt in you, someone so gentle inside
Your words felt like whispers
I treasured your presence; I tried
You'd make a beautiful bride

So it was hope and not sadness
I imagined brightness and gladness
Dreamed of love we'd one day make
Never once felt it a mistake

But dreams of love need give and take
I dreamed of real love, nothing ever felt fake
Didn't know I was headed for a fall
Didn't see the coming heartbreak

A man in a cage doesn't dare to dream
His heart tearing at each tattered seam
But you were different it did seem
Softness, gentleness, touched by a moonbeam

So here inside my heart you stay
though you disappeared and went away
Me, just a disposable thing, like an unwanted castaway
Here dreaming of your besos on a rainy day

I love you unconditionally, through hurtful silence
My heart still struggles somehow to say
Long after hope has gone away
And broken hearts are tucked away

In my dreams things didn't go astray
We persevered and found a way
to a treasured meeting, arranged one bright day
When the rest of the world would drift away

I visualize I’m in your company
Wrapped up in your sweet imagined love
That's where I'd wish to stay
If love was shared and strong enough to find it's way

You're in my heart, 'till my dying day
Your image as beautiful as the flowers of May
I tried to let go but the truth is I can't
So with me, in my heart, your memory will linger and sway

You're in my heart that way
guess you were somehow meant to stay
Though the dreams have fallen away
I think of you still each night as I pray

And wonder why love came so softly and so silently slipped away
