Just because you're not here does not mean you are not present in my life
Anymore than clouds kill the sun when it is not shining.
Just because you're not here does not mean I have forgotten how to love
And live, but moreso because of the life we shared together.
Just because you're not here does not mean I do not long for you
but can gain comfort from the many times we shared in happiness.
Just because you're not here does not mean I shall never love again
Because it was you who helped me define real and lasting love.
I shall love you forever and it makes me feel warm inside to know
that you knew how much I loved you and because I loved you
I shall love again, and again, and again, in celebration of my love for you.
Just because you blessed my life with your presence in it.
Love is eternal and ever flowing.
Marvelous poem! ty
