You can only love
like this…
only once.

I loved her
because she was the only one
I had eyes
and a heart for…
like no other.
Ever.

I loved her
from the minute
I saw her
till the last day
I saw her breathe…
in my arms.

Holding her…
and seeing her go…
is etched into my memory.
Forever.

Nothing can take away this…
I loved her
because she was perfect
for me.

Faults?
I saw none.

I loved every inch
of her…
from her dark eyes
that locked my soul
into hers forever.
To her full lips that smote
my heart,
to her walk that pulsated
my being,
to her love and affection
that made me feel invincible.

Yet,
I still love her.
Even gone.
It makes no difference.
I still love her

I love her
with a love
that has no ending…
A love that still breathes
that even death cannot rob…
A love only God can conceive
and bless a frail human with…

A love,
so pure,
eternal.
And complete.
