FOREVER AND EVER

Forever and Ever
Every day I miss you
The pain of loss cuts deep
My tears sting my wounds
My walk is slow filled with memories of you
Remembering the way you held me
A protective touch reassuring and supportive
Always by my side listening and being as one
We had our own way of thinking
Together we stood strong, giving to each other
Assistance when needed rather asked or not
Acceptance that glowed whenever we touched
You made my life beautiful
As with the rising sun
A new gift for each day
Precious love shared in a kiss
Two lips that touched sending sparks to eternity
Knowing I was your precious one, echoes in my dreams
Tears stream down my cheeks as I write
A letter to my beloved I send into the night
Knowing you will always be by my side
I will love you forever
I know you will be at the end of the light
Waiting for me with an out stretched hand
When the light rises above the mountain tops early morn'
I know it is my love sending me blessings for the day
For we are connected in a romance that last forever

Losing the Love of Your Life

by Ritzy Ritzhaupt


When you have had a profound love you are able to pick up the pieces and move forward once again. It may take a great deal of time with lots of revisiting of  what once was, but movement forward will happen. It feels as though the glow of what was is only an afterthought of what should have been.

The shock of loss leaves one spinning in a desperate attempt to find what was safe. No more are there the supporting hands of comfort. There is only the brutal reality that no one has the time or really cares what happens now that you are all alone. You must have gained enough reassurance from your union to trudge forward to make a new existence that will allow you to smile from time to time or even laugh out loud. The pain of loss will bear its marks with running tears.

Knowing you were once cherished, should bring you to a new destiny that allows you to tower over all others that walk the earth. They can only hope for a touch to soften their day or a word that will encourage them to brilliance. Where as you that have suffered the loss of a beloved, have already deliciously, devoured the knowledge that you have achieved the goal to be cherished.
