his final gift

The music box

Just before you left

Wood so warm and smooth to my touch

Your touch was smoother

I still feel you in my sleep

You wrote, “I will always love you forever and forever…”

Forever is not what I wished for

It never lasts that long

I open it…

Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

The song is always the same

I will never be the same

We still dance together

Engraved in the wood embraced as we twirl

Just us, dancing forever to the same song…this must be what you meant.

But forever is never that long 💙
