Final Thought [Terza Rima 01]

The last thing I remember is the kiss
you gave me as I lay in bed last night,
spoke softly as I drifted into bliss,

lay down and held me sweetly through the night.
And so I pass with pure love in my heart;
no need to flee, no call to stay and fight.

At dawn I slip away and as I part
I turn to you to take a final look,
to tell you ev’ry finish is a start.

You wrote the final pages of my book
with words of love, with words so sweet and true;
you gave yourself no matter what it took.

Please know at times when you are feeling blue
My final thought in life was ‘I love you’.
