Pulling petals
Off of roses
I still remember
Those beautiful moments
When we'd laugh
When we'd cry
any argument
Any amusement
It was just us
You and me
I know you're gone
But I can still feel you near
Your breath on my cheek
The warmth of your hand
I feel it still
You will never leave my heart
So, even though you're gone
You're most certainly
Not forgotten

The author's comments:
I made this for Jessica M. along with the fact that it's to be put in my "Loves Many Trials: The Path of the Teenage Heart" book.
