Be Assured Poem by Danny Speicher

Been a while since I last saw your face
Longer still since I’ve felt your hand in mine
Or heard a sweet, loving voice on the line
What we had is now gone without a trace

It must seem like I’ve forgotten it all
And that each memory has been erased
And, life with you, is a dream I don’t chase
But, really, it’s just painful, now, to call

To call and know that your heart doesn’t feel
The same way mine feels each and every day
And know, for a moment, you felt that way
Not truly knowing what set us off keel

But, dear, let your heart be assured and know
That, to this day, my heart’s yet to let go
