Simple Thoughts

Your hands hold mine,
Your lips touch my forehead,
And our eyes meet.
Time and time again,
The same scene is played -
You whisper my name,
And my breath catches...
But something is different today,
Today there's something more.
The concern in your eyes,
In your voice and your touch,
The memory of those three precious words
Spoken so softly last night
When we stood
And you kissed me under the stars,
They bring us close,
Closer than before,
And I want to be with you
For ever and ever....
Though I know you must leave,
I fear for you,
And I fear for us.
Do not forget me,
My love, my dear,
But do not think too much of me.
Know only that I love you,
And will pray for you each day,
Pray that someday
Far, far away,
God will bring you home...
Home with me to stay.
