Love story

 The stars dropped tears on my heart the day you left my side.

The leaves on the trees quietly fall to the ground, joining you as the sun rises and the moon disappears on another empty day.

Life's colors fade without your love, but memories appear to comfort me and guide me with a whisper on the wind I know is you.

Books have been written about love stories and hearts broken, but I never thought they were real until you were gone, and my heart shattered into a million pieces of sand scattered to the wind and coming to rest on your favorite beach.

I'll grow older without you, something we agreed to do together, but sometimes sorrow steps in, leaving one behind broken with so much more to give. I will move on with baby steps and the belief that we will meet again. I will tend your garden, remember you with every colorful bloom I pick, and put them in a vase to remind me of you.

At first, I thought, how would I ever go on living without you? But every day finds me a little less broken as my sorrow begins to fade. The countless memories fill my heart with joy as I give thanks for all we shared and for the perfect love story ever written.
