Knowing

Knowing that we are
Respecting every wish
With loving memory
And long-forgotten
Fondness
Makes my heart
Remember
How much
You Were Loved.

Compiling songs
From years gone by
Remembering how
You closed your eyes
To hear the beat
Feel the Lyrics
Love the music
For the feeling it gave
Reminds me how much
I truly did love you.

Anger masks that love
Until the person’s gone.
Regret does nothing
To remedy
But I know
I loved you
As much as you would allow

And I am proud
To have known you
Before the flood
To remember
The music
The classic moments
And
The Love.

Thank you.
