We had a Pretty Good Run

Could this be the face that once

Inspired another’s heart to beat?

The cruel mirror doesn’t lie

And I could cry at what reflects.

The happy pair that once danced there,

Now a solo, incomplete.

Maddened by the loss until

The voice of reason interjects.

 

Difficult to carry on as one

When two was so familiar.

Waiting for those sweet words

You would whisper in my ear.

Greeting every morning,

Every dawning of a new year.

Thriving without hesitation,

Together facing every fear.

 

In my memory your face glows

As bright as morning sunrise,

Follows every step I take

Until the day is done.

And I will never lose the love

I always found in your eyes.

Through smiles, through tears,

We shared a perfect run.
