How beautiful thou art You filled my days with laughter You filled my mornings with glory How wonderful thou seem You gave me a name to remember You took me places I have never been How happy thou art You took away my sorrows and pains You made my life feel complete How inspirational thou art You built my mind with wonderful fantasies You made my dreams run wild How lovely thou art You found me when I was no-where You gave me the courage to move on when all was lost If I had to live my life all over again You would be my first choice no doubt you made me wish for eternity when I had no power over it How lonely I have become You left me but with promises and tears You have engraved your image on the tablets of my heart Will I ever see you again? You and I were separated by conditions beyond our control Your absence gives me pains inexpressible If I die tonight You give me no reason to regret ever loving you and I take solace in knowing that you loved me and I loved you too. Dedicated to the memory of my first love and childhood friend I lost touch with a long time ago. « return. |
