I loved you long before I met you.
I held you in my dreams.
I walked down long alleys,
dark places,
cold walls,
waded through steep streams.
Then you appeared before me
and I began to see
far beyond the dreams I had.
I held on to you and me.
I have you in my memory
years after you are gone.
I close my eyes and I see you.
Every part of you
I've ever known.
I want to send a note to you
on the string of a balloon
or the beak of a bird
or and envelope with perfume.
A note that says ~ I still love you. ~
My heart longs to let you know.
To tell you, though you walked away,
I never let you go.
I loved you before I knew you.
I love you long after you are gone.
I will love you until I float to the sky.
I will kiss you goodbye on my way home.
