She’ll never know the sadness in my heart when I see me now,

The ghost in my eyes stares back as a damaged me somehow,

Will I ever again be whole before I depart from Mother Earth,

Yet I know her pain should I part as I’ve been hers since birth,

Everything that I love is inside of her and the outside too,

I can smell her scent as it brings memories rushing through,

And she’ll never know the fear I knew when coming home,

Would she be there as promised or will I remain all alone,

I may be a man but I feel but a child in this memory of fear,

Inside of my heart I feel that last night when I held her dear,

Looking at her now after half a century has passed me by,

It’s true I believe that we came to be from a past life tie,

My heart has known her since birth, my soul has forevermore,

Love is a fever given me by her kiss of which I desire more,

I love her, I wish there was a word beyond that of my love,

For her I would sing, for her anything, she is what I dream of,

A gift from her only needs to be a kiss from her beautiful lips,

Or a slow dance with my hands resting on her shapely hips,

So for her I will fight against despair brought me from pain,

For a sensation that fills my heart with joy, I’ll fight to remain.

I love her.
