May the Morrow Never Come

The Longest Day in my Life

It was rainy

On that normally sunny Sunday,

As the heavens wept

The day you left.

I understand why you have to go,

With so much to live for,

And so much yet to do.

I shall not stand in your way,

And bid you go your way.

I stayed awake all day and night

Hoping that tomorrow will not come.

For tomorrow will start without you,

And make our yesterdays

Just memories in my dreams.

I wish so much to stay this day,

So many things we have not yet say.

I drive alone to your old place,

And imagined our “goodbye”.

Did we or did we not say that word?

As tears flow from my eyes,

From days of happy memories

And the memories of happy days.

Will they ever come again?

I long for just one more day with you,

Even for a short time

To relive our yesterdays;

To hold your hand once more,

And to hold you in my hands.

I want to touch you again,

To kiss you and see your smiles

And to give you all of my love;

I missed you so much.

For many seasons of our time,

We share moments of our life.

On one very special moment,

You opened my heart again

to love this life.

I thanked God for that moment

And discovered his many rich blessings

Throughout moments of my life.

When tomorrow comes,

starts without me;

Remember that

we are never far apart.

For every time you think of me,

I am right here in your heart.

Tired, I closed my eyes,

And found myself in our Gardens,

And turned to speak to you,

To realize you’re not right there

As I expected you to be.

Holding you so close in thought

It is easy to forget

That you are already gone.

Today is the longest day in my life,

May tomorrow never come.
