Last One

by Libby M   May 7, 2005


There weren’t many words
Barely anything was said.
I blew out the candles,
It has been a year now
Since You’ve been Gone.

I’ve missed you so very
Much-I know life is
Somehow treating you better
Now that we are apart.

I only wanted to love you-
Was that too much?

We sit across from each other
And we think we see
We think we know
But, we are two completely
Different, new, somehow
Defining ourselves
as Strangers.

We are believers of Love and Life
Of second chances, of hope--
But now I am left, for how long
Can I believe, for how long I can hope...?
Oh How I fear disappointment
How I fear heartache
How I fear pain...oh, pain and all.

Do not cry for me-Do not chastise
Yourself-
Oh dearest one-I’ve been
Chosen to teach you how to love-
How to love better when Love
Knocks once again at your door.

But breathe me in still while I sit here
Take me in-Taste me till You are full...
Hold me close enough till you can feel
Safe again...Learn from this...Learn from
All we had to Endure...

Love better-Grow deeper in the thought
Of Loving her-Don’t brush her away like sand
Don’t compare her to anyone else...
Love her-Like she is the last One.
