Gone But Not Forgotten

Yes, you’re gone but not forgotten, the memories still cling!
Yes, I know that death must happen yet I’m still wondering!
I have ten thousand anecdotes that only we have shared…
Enough to stir ten thousand notes, enough to prove I cared…
And yet I care more now than then, the grief consumes me still…
Your passing is beyond my ken… In fact, it’s made me ill…
I hear your voice within the house, yes, even though you’ve gone!
Although I’m silent as a mouse, your voice won’t carry on!
You speak my name, a moment’s grace, a gift from God I think…
I look around to see your face… my timing out of sync…
I know you’ve gone! Your ghost abides! Your spirit dwells in dreams!
Sometimes my spirit coincides as if we’re joining streams…
It’s then that I fear for my mind… They say time heals our hearts…
I pray God’s healing I will find and that a new life starts…
Perhaps I’m meant to love again! If so, then bless me now…
In truth, I don’t know where or when! What will the Lord allow?
Yet if I stay a single soul, and marriage isn’t mine…
Down Memory Lane I’m proud to stroll to seek the Valentine
Who stole my very heart away a long, long time ago…
Though gone still loved this very day… As if you didn’t know…
