How very much I would love your soft, gentle touch.


"I did not know"

The joy of your embrace, your lips upon mine,

The ecstasy that I feel....

Did not know that it could be so real.


"I did not know"

The feelings of missing one at the start of the day, before they even went away.

Always wishing for you to stay.


"I did not know"

You would return each day with a smile on your face

Making my heart sing and race!


"I did not know"

Making sweet love to you in the park each day

Could thrill me so

Embracing the stars as you took me away!


"I did not know"

That our life would be magnificently embedded with jewels, not the kind you touch or see

The kind that fill you with love......while remaining so free!


You offered me a garden filled with wildflowers my love,

Sprinkled with Trust, Forgiveness Truth, and Love.


Through all the mistakes our love remained steadfast and strong,

With a love such as ours....never matters who is wrong.


We did my darling become one soul,

Through precious moments from life that we begged borrowed and stole.


"I did not know"

Sitting beside your grave....today

That you would ever leave me....go so far away.


"I did not know"

Living without you would make me so lost....

My very worst fear

Your no longer here

My soul is but an early winter's frost.


As warm stabbing tears stream down my pain ladden face

Mind wandering off to our special place.

That place in the park belonging to us and us alone,

Does not help much now as I peer down at your stone.


Hand slides across it,

Gently removing the snow.

Revealing three simple words......

"I did Not Know"
