Our Bucket List

I wrote this for an old friend who lost his fiancee' in a car accident... R.I.P.

I took our list and packed my bag,

I know the past I cannot change,

An accident, no one’s to blame,

As together we were torn apart,

Will you remember me, when we meet again?

I turn the light off to hide my tears,

Blinding your faces that hang on the mirror,

I constantly think about taking my life,

Because losing your love has come with a price,

I pray that you remember me, when we meet again,

The glow of your smile I’ll never forget,

Nor a memory made that I’ll ever regret,

A painful ending wrongly paired with a perfect start,

The kindness of your mortal soul has touched so many hearts,

I need you to remember me, when we meet again,

I’ll cross the list off slowly, completing one by one,

I need you, my guardian, until the list is done,

An eternal love, your words I hear,

This heart will heal, it can feel you near,

A short life away, you’re the cure for all my pain,

I know that you'll be waiting for me, when we meet again.

In your words one finds a comfort, even in painful memories.. there is that beauty in the recollection... Yes.. our memories are like magic places we store the most brilliant treasures.
