A Valentine for my husband of 46 years. In all the years of pain, loss, joy, and happiness, we have fallen in and out of love many times. Today, we have found each other again. And this is what came to mind today. I love you old man, I always have, even when I got lost in the sorrow.
Broken Memories
Memories of your arms
holding me, hands touching me
reaching for you, touching
broken memories.
Memories of laughter
sunshine days, warm nights
gentle loving,
touching broken memories.
Memories of joy
memories of contentment
careful words, giving
broken memories.
Memories of loneliness
memories of emptiness
memories of needing you
lost in broken memories.
Memories of growing old
lost and alone
finding you in my heart
mending broken memories.
Reaching for your arms
touching your love
finding warmth
leaving behind broken memories.
