She stands alone
In thier secret place.
Looking out to the dark horizon,
With tears streaming down her face.
She turns her ears to the wind,
In hope to hear his deep, rich voice.
Suddenly,
She feels him
Wrap himself around her,
In a warm, familiar embrace.
With his hand,
He moves her hair to the side.
Gently he kisses her shoulder,
Nuzzles her neck,
Puts his lips to her ear.
He utters but a single word,
"Remember"
Instantly she is flooded with memories.
She remembers the laughter they shared,
The firey passions that scorched them,
The friendship that bonded them.
She remembered thier fights,
The tears and the deeper understanding after.
Most of all she remembered thier Love.
Then he whispered,
"Feel"
All at once,
She felt
His pain and sorrow,
His fustration and guilt,
His freedom and peace.
Each of his emotions
Laced with his undying love.
With that she awaoke,
Safe in her bed.
Remembering that today
She buried her One True Love.
Still his words rang in her heart and mind,
"My Beloved Irene, we shall carry our Love to the end of time." |
