You Were Mine

I turn the page and wipe the tears from my eyes.
One more day without you.
It’s a heavy cross to bare.
Looking at your pictures my heart swells with bittersweet pride, because you were mine.
You were mine.

It seems long ago and far away those days we laughed and loved.
The sun would catch the highlights in your hair.
You were so care free.
The world was your play toy.
No one would deny you.
Your smile opened so many hearts and you were mine.
You were mine.

You were snatched away too soon.
My pain goes on unending.
Time cannot heal these wounds of mine.
My heart will never forget you were mine.
You were mine.

Every morning I awoke to your face.
I got to watch you move and your grace always took my breath away.
You were so beautiful.
I felt blessed you were mine.
You were mine.

I could see jealousy in others eyes every time you walked holding my hand.
Our little universe we made up for just the two of us.
The sun was brighter.
The burden’s of life were lighter all because you were mine.
You were mine.

Once upon a time you were mine!
