Gift For You - Poetry

I didn’t know I didn't know today, you would not be here tomorrow.

I didn't know, I would never again hear you speak my name, or say, 'I love you'.

I didn't know we would never again make love. Never again, feel as one.

Never again experience that total feeling of love and being loved.

I didn't know, that most of me, would go where you have gone. That most of who I am, would disappear into that eternal dark and endless abyss.

I didn't know...without you, without us... there would be no me.

I didn't know, how the cruel silence of our empty house, would make me weep, at the mere thought of you.

I didn't know how dark the days would become and how empty and lonely the nights would be.

I didn't know, the joy, in the music of life, would forever cease.

I didn't know all our well meaning friends, 90
