Until forever

Until again we meet

my heart will continue to beat,

though it may long seek

the echo of a heart now still.

My lungs will breathe yet

for one cannot forget

but the air will be less sweet

for your breath will not be in it.

My eyes still will see

though without you I will be

and nothing will be as bright

as your smile in my memory.

My ears cannot but hear

the silence I cannot bear

the music of your laughter

a waning whisper in my mind.

Yes, life will go on

although you are gone

but I’ll just be biding time

till we meet again, finally.
