If only I could go back..

if only I could go back
to when your love I could feel, and see.

About this poem
This poem is about my Fiance, Gabe, who passed away in my arms at the age of 29. We were together for seventeen straight years. Gabe, every bit of good in me, is from you. I will miss you, love you, and long for you until I take my very last breath. This poem is about my Fiance, Gabe, who passed away in my arms at the age of 29.
