Forever and ever?
Forever ever.
We whisper to each other nightly since the night we declared our love.
Forever ever but if you were gone I try to imagine how it would be.
As we are not wed would I be able to move on easily?
Would your voice linger in the air?
Would your family let your belongings be left in my care?
If so would I treasure them be or stash them away to gather
dust until they decay?
I cannot imagine life with out you.
Without the touch of your hand upon my side.
No more tender kisses nor heated arguments.
No more day to day.
Would time stand still for a little while
give me a moment to capture our life?
Would it hurriedly rush me to move on as it has done
with so many of my loved ones gone?
If you were gone I dare not imagine
as you are yet here.
Let me no longer think so morbidly.
Forever ever into eternity.

Poetry: If you were gone
You Without Me
Oh what can it be
When I see you without me
The uneasiness of it all
And wrestling with my heart
Of being alone
We only met two years ago
But you are a constant in my life
The one thing that keeps me steady
When everything else is full
If you were gone
My life would be so much simpler
No calling to check on you
No going to pick up your mail
No going to pick
While I am here with you,
Close to my heart you will stay.
Never did I imagine
A love so fine.
With you,
My heart sings.
Because
by Helen Stuart
If you were gone
I'd have no reason to listen
For pick-up motors roaring
Into the driveway.
No smell of cigars
On your flannel
