I never stopped loving you

From the day I met you

To the day I die



When I met you

My heart stopped

The earth stood still



My eyes stood wide

My thoughts ran wild

I was speechless



I went to say hello

I spoke no words

I was in awe



Your eyes drew me to you

An amazing glow was present

The made me melt



A day came

Where I stood

Wearing all white



Standing in front of everyone

I looked into your eyes

I will always love you

Within a year

I sat in a hospital bed with you at my side

And I in great pain



You looked into my eyes

Said I could do this

And whispered softly I will always love you



Three years went by

You stood in front of me

Wearing a camouflaged uniform



You said not to cry, not to be sad

You said I’m doing this for you, for us

You kissed me passionately



Your arms were still around me

I didn’t want you to let go

But you had to



You kissed me again, kissed my hand

You let go of me

I cried



You looked into my eyes, held my hands

You told me “I will always love you”

You walked away, that was the last time I saw you





Within four years of that day

The next time I saw you

I cried



You lied within a wooden bed

I knelt beside you

My hand on your heart



I covered your eyes

I didn’t want you to see me like this

I cried again



I stood

Slowly, and shaking

My hand still on your heart



I wiped my tears

I mouthed five words slowly

I will always love you
