I’ll sing to you, my love, a song so sweet it will echo for eternity. I long to be near you, but you’ve been taken away to a place I cannot follow. Our hopes and dreams now only memory. I mourn the loss of each cherished moment, each impassioned embrace. I come to this field, run my fingers through the dewy grass as the sun arrives; bask in the shadows as the day retreats. I reach for you, much as I reach for the times we’ll never share again, yet always my hand strikes this vile marker placed above your grace. Still, I feel your radiant smile as I sing; it broadens with each blush upon my cheek. My heart in your hands, as yours is in mine, always.

Thank you, Joe – this one was straight-up romance. (minus the dead part) I’m glad you enjoyed it and understood the nuance behind the words 🙂

yes very romantic Nina – you certainly are talented but “my heart is in your hands” could be taken another way lol

Thank you, and yes, it could – but this particular post is meant for someone special, and their ‘heart’ is their love. Sorry – no horror in this one! 🙂

One emo moment and you wanna hang a girl? Have you no mercy? She is dead after all – that’s gotta count for something! 😉
