Every time I close my eyes <br />I think of you my dear, <br />Although your image will not fade <br />I wish you were still here. <br /> <br />Just to see you smile again <br />To laugh and share a joke, <br />I cherish every word you said <br />The final time we spoke. <br /> <br />As you will stay forever young <br />In turn I must grow old, <br />Although I cannot touch you now <br />Your memory I will hold. <br /> <br />Such beauty that you did possess <br />Your long dark flowing hair, <br />The warmth within your chestnut eyes <br />Your skin so soft and fair. <br /> <br />I longed to say I love you <br />I'll regret this to the end, <br />Until the time we meet again <br />My everlasting friend.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/every-time-i-close-my-eyes/
