You Changed My Life By Being You

So many times you filled me up

and all you were was there.

Now im missing you so much,

untold how much I care



Cutting short the time that’s ours,

erased away that time.

Its not fair, so little twas,

taken what was mine



But now I treasure oh so much

the times that we once had.

and those’ll hold forever

and though it makes me sad



To consider all that could

and all that was to be.

Moves the world all by itself

and causes me to see.



The time we share together

and times I simply watched

are each itself so amazing

we seldom count the cost.



So in this very value

which doesn’t seem like gain

Is the inspiration

that gets us past the pain.



For if we are to value

those things we hold so dear

Its in those treasures that we hold

then it becomes quite clear



That in the moments that we have

together, just like gems.

You changed my life by being you

and so enriched I am.

Thank you for a new poem. I have been waiting and watching.
Loving and losing is hard indeed. All the things I coulda/shoulda done and said, the opportunity is no longer there.
Please continue to work and use your wonderful talent.
