They say memories are golden, <br /> <br />well, maybe this is true. <br /> <br />I never wanted memories, <br /> <br />I only wanted you. <br /> <br />A million times I needed you, <br /> <br />a million times I cried. <br /> <br />If love alone could have saved you, <br /> <br />you never would have died. <br /> <br />In life I loved you dearly, <br /> <br />In death I love you still. <br /> <br />Inside my heart you hold a place, <br /> <br />no one could ever fill. <br /> <br />If tears could build a stairway <br /> <br />and heartache make a lane, <br /> <br />I'd walk the path to heaven, <br /> <br />and bring you home again. <br /> <br />Our family chain is broken, <br /> <br />and nothing seems the same. <br /> <br />But as God calls us one by one, <br /> <br />the chain will link again.<br /><br />Vicky Holder<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-only-wanted-you-2/
