By Jeffery Thompson
Her eyes would sparkle to me
I only had memories of holding her hands
kissing her lips, kissing her head
my eyes would open, and all it would be is a memory
how powerful it was, was this love?
was this something that people live for and die for?
I can see her in my life forever, my wife, the mother of my children.
I can see her across the ocean
I hunger for her, to feel her
the smile, the fights, its worth it
her smile can last a lifetime for me
a lifetime of love I am willing to die for
