I can feel you still; your warm body on mine <br />Holding me, touching me caressing me as one <br />And my hands running smooth and soft across your perfect skin <br />With silken strokes that excite me <br />How can one person be encapsulated in such beauty? <br />Your breath was always sweet and <br />I dreamed of you last night….. <br />I woke with tears on my pillow, sadness in my heart that <br />Squeezed any happiness I could have woken with right out…. <br />Oh where are you now, are you stroking someone else <br />These thoughts cut through me like a knife <br />Throughout my whole being, and tears they flow so easily <br />Stinging and causing me to blink and close my eyes <br />Those tears to dropp on my lap as I sit alone and weep <br />And still I long for and hope for and pray for you <br />But still I know there is no chance <br /> <br />You’ve left me now with no going back <br />Although I would take you back in a heartbeat <br />Forgive all, forget and cherish more memories <br />Made together <br />But you cannot my love… your heart is filled with pain <br />Pain from your past freezing out what could be warm thoughts <br />That stops you forgiving, that keeps the coldness in there <br /> <br />I send messages to you, across the wind <br />Loving messages on the wing of a prayer <br />Hoping you will pick them up, just like that <br />Whispering in your ear and telling you I am still here <br />Waiting for you, holding my breath, waiting for you <br />To return to me…….<br /><br />jennifer jane pryce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-past-19/
