To a Lost Loved One

i can let your body go
but not the part of you
that lives in my heart
my warm memories of you
will be with me
all the days of my life
and i will cherish
every one of them
they will give me
strength when i'm weak
and happiness
when i'm down
i'll only have to
remember your smile
and my hope will be renewed
i'll only have to
think about the way your eyes
touched something deep
inside of me
and i'll remember
that love bonds
one soul to another eternally
i can let your body go
but never the love for you
i carry in my heart
