We Will Always Have Paris*

Said in a conversation between the poet and his lady written as a sonnet. I leave the reader to decide who said it.

Do not mourn when I am gone

I would not mourn for you

I would remember how we loved

while the roses bloomed.

 

I will remember how we laughed

and like a sonnet rhymed

and together lived and loved

in our own springtime.

 

I will not in winter weep

for those days of yore.

No! I shall not wish again

for what has gone before.

 

But will remember our spring

until I breathe no more.

 

* Title is from a line spoken in the movie Casablanca

How very tenderly done this was. Spoken with a touch of sadness yet sweetness too. You so excel in these types of write Twinie.. Well done, well done indeed.

Ohh, I really loved this tender piece. The verbage is soft, gentle and flowing.
Thank you for sharing. This would be something I'd like to send to my family who lost a loved one 11 days ago. May I share your poem with them?
