What She Meant to Me

From 2008...and modified May 2010 in Washington DC...a Poem...titled "What She Meant to Me" ... from the upcoming book of poetry by Brian Hayes

What She Meant To Me was a poem that was written back in 2008 with the title change "means" versus "meant" based on things that were happening in my life at the time. It meant as much then as it does now and I hope you enjoy it

What She Meant to Me

She is the light
That guides me true
A place in time
That we both knew

Would be the life
As such we are
No matter where
How long…or far

She means more
Then time can tell
She is the one
My heart does swell

My pace quickens
My heart does rise
I see her stand…
Tears from my eyes

My life is void
Without her near
I need her strength
And love…sincere

She is the one
That dreams are made
For all my life
For this I’ve prayed

To be this one
That we should be
Forever in love
The world will see

I need her so
I can not say
Without her near
There is no way

That life will be
Worth living for
She took my breath
Like none before

Forever and ever
Our hearts should be
In love and life
I do decree

My life is lost
My time draws near
I sit and wait…
And live in fear

Her never knowing
What I back then
Held close in love
Yet never…again
