With Loving Eyes

I looked into his eyes
His tender loving eyes,
And saw sadness..
Sorrow..
The depth..

His gentle lips spoke
they spoke of me
He said with all earnestness
That he would miss me.

With those eyes,
He told me to be strong
But that it was hard for him too.

The softness of his voice as he said
"I don't want to go"
Oh my heart.
My heart, it broke

I hugged him immediately
It was more for me than for him
His warmth embracing me
Our sorrow meshing together

Both trying to soothe one another
Both trying their best to stay strong
But who can endure?
I shattered to pieces once he left my side

But alas I must continue on
I must pull it together
I must stay strong
Until we meet again.

Until we no longer have to leave
Until i no longer have to wait
Month
After
Month
Day after day
Living moment to moment

I never once yearned for the future,
Not until i met him.
And so I will yearn
And dream
And hope
Until together we are forevermore
