Lasting Memories

By: Robert Nicholson

Out with my friends on a late Monday night

As we walked through the door

I seen your smile, out of fear I walked

To the other side of the room

And watched my heart fall right for you

We danced, we laughed, we even cried and before

The end you gave me hope inside

And I knew I wanted you for the

Rest of my life.

The next memory I have is of our first kiss

I took you to a place that you would soon forget

We sat and stared as the sunlight dropped

And the stars came out with a wish gone up

I looked to you and your smile I could not hold it back

Then a twinkle in your eye then our lips met

The third memory I have is one I shall never forget

As we lay there holding one another on a blanket I wept

You feed me fruit and told me things that meant so much

We talked for hours, made love and then curled up

I sat up watching you as you slept in my arms knowing

I would die before I’d every let you meet harm

The forth memory I have was a wish come true

For everything I have ever wished for

It was all wrapped up in you

I knew from the first moment I saw you

That this is what I wanted to do

As I glazed into your greenish blue eyes and said

“I DO”

The last memory I have I shall never forget

It was the memories of your love and my love for you

The sacrifices we made for each other I never regret

We were meant to be together morals or not you

Know it in you heart and I knew it from the start

This is what hurts so bad is the fact that I love you

And will till the day I die

I just wish you could love me too.
