Remembering the Truth

The simple things
These are the truth
The heart of us
The love we built upon

Your hand in mine
At the beach, or at the store
Your arms around my neck
Whether at work
Or in bed

Your pride in me
In us, reflected in all we saw
What others saw on the outside
Was true on the inside
We loved in private as we did in the world

Our skin always touching
Our eyes always expressing
Our smiles always connecting
Our souls always sharing

I made you happy
I picked you up and dusted you off
Knowing this woman deserved more
Than the life she was living

You corrected my worth
Gave me a reason to live
Made me want to be the best I could
God, making you smile was always my goal

Nothing was wrong enough
To force you to let go
The woman who believed in fighting
For love, for fairy tales
We were each other's knights in shining armor

The chances of a fairy tale dwindle
Down to almost nothing
Every day you choose to not believe
I sit here trying not to feel deceived

Time is moving
This man no longer sure
In his ability to let go of what you have done
As the wounds cover my whole soul

Never would I feel such anguish
If I didn't believe we were real
If I didn't believe you were next to God on a throne
If I didn't believe I was born to find you

Such a spark, such a sign
From day one, you made the butterflies alive
And I will die with these memories
But I'd rather have more with you
Every day just saying I love you
And every time, hearing it back
Eases the transition from this world to the next

I love you and miss you so much Kathy Fant
I hurt, I wish you could see the truth as I do
Instead of this self created hurt and numbness you believe
The world, and I, truly know differently
