I hear it ever so softly
whenever I think of
you.
When I close my eyes
and surrender to the
memories of you,
the good, the bad
and those in between,
I remember them all,
and I will never, can
not ever forget.
Those moments
with you in my mind,
the image of you
holding me, holding on.
Memories
of the way we
used to be and
all that we
could have been.
It is all
I have left of
you now,
of the love
we shared.
But, then, I hear it.
The echo
of your voice.
And I feel the echo
of your heartbeat.
And I know
that you are here
with me, still.
You are the
better part of me.
Always treasured,
forever loved,
and never forgotten.
