As I Remembered Our Last Goodbyes Poem by Kaila George

The soft breeze blew slowly through the window
Its ice cold fingers touching my warm skin
Catching my breath I shiver with delight

Slowly I turn and watch you sleep
Soft raven hair falling around your face
You gently stir in your sleep

I gasp as I watch the ripple of a dream
Pass before your eyes giving you a delicate touch

I lean in closer to smell the sweetness of your skin
I smile and lay my head upon your chest
Thinking I'm so lucky you're by my side

Then suddenly I awake
To find a empty place
Were you once lay at my side

The dream was so real
I could feel you
I could touch you
As if you were alive

My eyes glistened with tears
As I remembered our last goodbyes

You said you would love me
Now and evermore

I touch my lips in remembrance
Of that last passionate kiss goodbye

We kissed a deep and loving kiss
As long as we could hold our breath

Then with one final look with love in your eyes
You smiled at me with wonder
As you said your last farewell

And slowly you whispered in my ear
I will love you forever more

The memories are painful
As I lay upon my bed

Hugging my pillows close
As I cry away my fears

Then one final shudder
I rest my weary bones

And dream of the days of us
Before you left my arms

Single teardrops traces down my face
You are always in my heart and dreams
For now and evermore
