My One True Love

Have I ever told you that I love you still, though you are now a name engraved in stone; our love has no bounds and is everlasting, you will always be my one true love. I assumed we would grow old together, but your destiny was written in the book of life; and what is written can never be changed, so, you had to leave me one frozen winter day. Years have passed but the dagger of grief remains, I come with red roses to your grave; not often as you are buried in another city. as an only child, it was your mom and dad's wish. No matter, you are with me each day and night, but I must get on with my life, it is time; so I have come to tell you that one day soon, another will claim my heart and soul and mind. Though, you my darling will always and forever, be my one true love, never to be repeated; never to be replaced by another love, and when my life ends- meet me at heaven's gate. ________________________ November 4, 2020 Poetry/Verse/My One True Love Copyright Protected, ID 11-1300-228-04 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Standard Contest, Have I Ever Told You That sponsor, John Lawless, Judged 11/20/20 Eighth Place

I'm sorry for your loss, and the difficult journey to lay flowers at his grave, but I believe as you stated in your poem, that he will be with you, where ever you are. Thank you for sharing your heart. Congratulations on your winning placement.

It's so tragic, your love story, Constance. You wrote incredibly well about it here. The same happened to Carolyn too with her husband leaving her a widow long before their time could be.
