A Life Time Of Love Poem by Catherine Hendry

I have loved you through most of my life …
I shared with you,
I adored you,
I gave you every bit of me …
oddly, I always knew it was a one-way street,
me for you, you for you and that’s just how it was …
But the place you hold in my heart is ENORMOUS!
if I could have, I would have, gathered ALL the stars in the heavens
and handed them to you one by one …
as far as I was concerned,
YOU hung the moon …

and

YOU lit the sun …
Alas, our paths did not stay parallel …
you went left,
i went right,
i was day and you were night …
i cried dry tears into wet pillows
hoping, wishing, craving …
for YOU to feel the same and to marvel at the amazement,
of this incredible love …
reluctantly accepting the reality …
you and me would never be ”WE”
it took time, faith and will - power,
but I came through the dense thickness …
and I realized, it was BEST FOR ME …
i will love you forever,
I will cherish the time we shared,
what you have ALWAYS meant to me, will NEVER change …

YET …

I evolved from you,
I gained appreciation of you,
I relish the memories of experiencing you …
I loved you then,
I love you now,
I will love you forever …
Past, present and future …

I ADMIT I WAS FULL OF GUILT and YOU were MY SIN!
