He's Gone

My mind says he's gone

My heart says no

Can't you feel his love?

Can't you feel his presence?

My mind says he's gone

My heart says no

Don't you remember the times you shared?

Don't you smile at the little things he did for you?

My mind says he's gone

My heart says no

You are strong because of his love he had for you

You are strong because of his wisdom he shared with you

My mind says he's here

My heart says I don't know

I wake up and look for him, but he's not here

I start to talk to him, and then I realize he's not here.

I begin to weep, the pain of loss is so strong.

My mind says he's gone

My heart says he may be gone,

but as long as I have my memories and never let them die,

He will be here with me.

 

About the Author
I was very happily married to Ray for 36 1/2 years. We have been together for over 38 years. I thank God everyday for bringing Ray into my life. Ray was my first and only love and I miss him more than life itself. I used to write short stories & poetry as a way to help in my recovery from my childhood. I journal quite a bit. Writing is a release for me and helps me to cleanse my soul.
