TAKE ME ALONG.....

Kissing you goodbye

Was the hardest thing

I’d ever had to do in my life….

Not knowing when

You would come back,

Or whether you would be back at all….

Believing you would return

Was something I had to cling on to…

Though it was going to be difficult.....

The world would come to its senses

And the war would end…

Giving us the future we dreamed of….

Putting myself into that kiss

I gave you everything I had….

Needing you to understand

All that I had been unable to say

Willing you to feel the love

Flowing from me to you….

Wanting you to remember

All the good times that we had

The laughter, the sunshine…

The perfect ease of companionship

With the intensity of emotions

Threatening to spill over….

Wishing you would take me along....

As a memory….to make you smile

As a hope…to hold on to

As a presence….to keep you safe

As a faith…..to give you strength

As a promise…to bring you back……
