For you Kevin

My normal took an ugly turn, the day you left my side.
For on that day, along with you, our future also died.
We had great plans and dreams, as I'm sure all couples do.
But planning your Memorial, is all I got to do.
Gone are the plans of trips, and laughs ,and lots more times together.
Yet always, are you in my heart, and will remain
Forever!
I've loved you from the day, that your eyes first met mine,
I'll continue to do the same, until the end of time.
Your smile, your dimples, your beautiful eyes,
Are always on my mind.
And in the knowledge of where you are,
Is the comfort that I find.
As I reflect on memories, of things that we have done,
I smile, I cry and think of all our fun.
We had a lot of memories packed into a few short years
And everyone of them, Causes many tears.
Tears for all the times we spent,
Both the good and bad
And of the monumental love,
Together, that we had.
How fortunate we were to have, a love that was so strong
Some folks never find that, they never do belong.
But babe, we were the lucky ones to have our second chance.
The friendship, love, and marriage, and yes!
A great romance.
So now I seek a normal for me without you here.
It breaks my heart, and brings about more than a little fear.
Yet, I know, that you are watching and are always by my side,
The Lord and you have got my back and will always be
My guide.
I think of that the whole day through and it helps me carry on.
My normal still includes you, even though you're gone.
Just in a different fashion, than it was before,
But you, my love, will welcome me,
When I reach Heaven's door.
