Gentle, Gentleman

Inside a house of glass on the edge of jungles
From around the world, we sat on a bench
And glanced around the room
The birds fluttered playfully
Chirping out their melodies
Occasionally stopping to nibble on treats of the day
We laughed and we talked
And as our eyes touched
You’d smile at me sweetly with that look of love
We talked about the world
Inspecting the plants all around us
Wishing we could sit there for hours and hours
I wanted to touch your hand
As it was poised so close to mine
Sensing your energy as it radiated around me
My heart beat so fast as I wished for your love 
So I kept holding back my tears
From my want, to be with you
And on that day when you and I first met
I learned so much of you
My soft-spoken gentle man
Who really was quite the gentleman
I never dreamt that one day it would all come to an end
That THAT was my one chance
At the treasure that was YOU
Now that you have left me
I am alone and without hope
Now that you my love are gone forever
All I have are memories to help me cope

And cope you will Sara ... let there be no doubt ... one day soon your heart will shout ... and you will let it all out ... the love in your heart that is ... and someone will be blessed ... for somewhere that someone new is waiting for you. Bill Murray

I can't wait to read what Ben has to say about this, his opinion is held in such high esteem, you know.

But you have to keep the faith in yourself that things work out for the best in the long run. I've seen it happen too many times for it to be just an old saying. You will too.
