Forever Yours Poem by Linda Ori

Yesterday I saw you once again -
How long has it been?
You were deep in thought and walking
Against the chill wind of the blustery day;
Still the sight of you takes my breath away
Just as it has for the past thirty years -
That little boy face still glows mischievously
Out from under the silver sprinkled hair
That I loved to run my fingers through -
Ah, such fond memories of a sweeter time
When the world was ours, and love was simple;
Do you ever think of me and wonder.............
Could it have lasted, or was it all a dream?
A rare gift granted to two kindred spirits
So into each other that you became me
And I became you.
I often wonder how it could have been
When I am lost in dreaming,
Still somewhere in my heart you remain,
Just as precious as the first time we met,
That first glance that sent a shock of recognition
From some lifetime faraway -
I knew you then, and I know you still,
And I will go on knowing every bit of you
Until my eyes no longer see,
And my heart ceases to beat.
