It’s what she left behind
Items that carry memories
Of the time we both shared the same dream
They are more than objects
Symbols of a love vanquished but not vanished
In hearts faraway now from each other
But forever united:
A pen she gave me
Precious beyond words
Photographs of her and me at the Lovers Bridge
The scarf she left
The ring that she refused
Stories they carry
Stories we share
Our storied love
No longer there
Love that lives in the past
That’s the anomaly
I wouldn't trade it for anything
Just savor what used to be
