I Remember

I remember the day we met my love

23 June 2012 – a Saturday, what a blessed day
Just three days earlier it was my birthday
You were my unexpected gift from heaven above

I waited so long to be happy at last
To feel the kind of love that made my heart melt
To love and be loved - I remember how it felt
Your gentle touch and kind heart erased my unhappy past

I could not believe I was yours and you were mine 
Into my darkness you brought new light
Our future together looked so very bright
I finally knew what it was like, to live on cloud number nine

It was not so long ago that I was so very happy 
Every day was bliss, every moment was magic
You filled my days with fun and laughter
We even planned our forever after 

Then after just 22 months of heaven you were taken
Ripped from my life without any warning
I had no idea when I left on that morning
I cannot believe it – it cannot be, I must be mistaken 

I had so much more love to receive, and buckets more to give
I was not ready, I was not prepared, without you to live
Now I cannot remember how to smile or how to feel joy
I can only remember the love that we once did enjoy

I remember the day you left my love
24 April 2014 -  a Thursday, what a tragic day
My soul died within me that terrible day
And my heart you took back with you to heaven above
