Losing You.

Losing You.

A Poem by Fay Slimm

 

 

 

Losing You.

Perhaps ours was not a usual love,
the sort that demands continual proof,
fervour which naught can cool or drown,
the fierce passion that willingly lays down
its needs for another's approval, no our own
affection was something written in lighter tone.

Ours had the keenness of separate
beings enjoying share of time together,
reaching for comfort found hand in hand
when trouble meant need of understanding,
yes our connection led us to friendship's corner,
where choice was honoured and respect afforded.

Yet love was there,
it grew with care
of each for each,
so in losing you
death, of a sort
took me too.

Many thanks for your visit and generous review. Am pleased you related to "Losing You."

This is everything that the Bunny & TF have already said about it Fay... Yes, without a shadow of a doubt, fine words indeed and will surely resonate with many of those who find themselves here... I know they do with me and truly... Stay safe n well my friend...
