Forever In My Heart!

They are never truly gone away...as long as we keep them in our hearts!

Forever in My Heart

 

I know that you are gone

But I still hear your footsteps

On the walk,

You’re key in the lock

The dog welcoming you home.

“What’s for dinner?” you ask

“I am” I playfully reply and smile

 As you sweep me up in a bear hug

 And I can hardly breathe!

 

I cannot bear to give your clothes away

They hang in the closet waiting for your return

I listen to your voice on the answering machine

A hundred times a day to prove you are still here

If I had known when you left me that morning

That this would be the last time we kissed

I would have held you tighter

And pleaded with you not to go!

 

This date…our anniversary

Will forever be a day of shame and heartbreak

The world and I …will never forget

This September 11th

The day the music stopped!

[Salvatore Buttaci]

Heart touching, sincere, vivid to the imagination, great word choices: they all add up to a wonderfully written poem!
