"He's Gone....So Now What"

Love comes and goes but......are we ready for what comes next? Life after being in love can be so hard especially when one person is not ready to give up the relationship. We hold on and hold on saying to ourselves...."If we only had more time together I could have proved to him..." or "I could have shown her how much.....". We have to realize that some people are only in our lives for a little while. They're just leaves on our tree of life and are destined to fall off so that new ones can grow. The season is over and we have to face the cold weather in order to prepare for the warm. How long does it take for you to "let it go"?
Clothed in Your Love
I'm not concerned with
how long you stayed
because everafter lives happily in me.
My heart has been adorned with
your benevolence and your gentleness.
The memories are mine
To recall as I choose.
It doesn't matter
how many times
you made me laugh.
Your joy has been engraved
in each fold of my body,
and the warmth of your
smile layers my soul.
It matters not, how
often I felt the brush
of your skin.
The reality of you
clothes my mind,
and those memories are mine
to recall as I choose.
No, I am not concerned
with how long you stayed
because your presence
is still powerful and strong and
I'm grateful because
it is your love
that I have worn.
