My Memories of You

 

 
I remember our first date 
New Years Eve 
The perfect day to start my life with someone 
You still had the Christmas tree up 
We watched movies and talked 
well into the new year 
not even knowing that 12 midnight had come n gone 
We were caught up in each other 
Then the night came to an end 
a nice kiss goodnight 
and hopeing I would see you again 

I waited a couple of days to call you 
Didn't want you to think 
I was desperate or something 
and you were worried 
that I wouldn't call back 
We would talk on the phone for hours 
I've never talked to a woman 
that long on the phone before 
But the sound of your voice 
the many things we had to say to each other 
kept us on the line 

When we were together 
we would talk and laugh 
I would hold you in my arms 
and we would kiss for hours and hours 
I loved kissing you 
our bodies connected as one 

It may have not been the perfect relationship 
You see my kid 
a mixed up kid 
would soon tear us apart 
But don't blame him 
Its me at fault here 
I didn't take control of things here 
I tried and tried 
but who would know 
that it wasn't going to work out 
That you and me would be far apart 
yet so close 

I still think of you 
more now than ever 
I guess because I don't have you 
to hold anymore 
Before I go to sleep, in my car 
I want to see you 
to hold you in my arms 
so tight and never letting go 
To kiss you soft tender lips 
just one more time 
But that wouldn't work 
I couldn't let go 
just like now 
I can't let go 

I thought we would grow old together 
You with your walker me with my cane 
the spark still there 
our love for each other 
Enjoying our grandchildren 
spoiling them and sending them home 
You still saying "I don't know" and 
me saying "dang" 
We had some really great times together 
but thats come to an end 
I do hope we'll always be friends 
But I shouldn't really love a friend 
like I do you 

As you can tell 
I really do miss you 
I love you so much 
its hard to let go 
I have never felt this way about a woman before 
so please be paient with me 
If I only knew that last Sunday night 
would be the last time 
I would hold you 
and kiss you 
well, we would still be locked together as one right now 
I know now what I have lost 
The love of my life 

Love, 
Gary
