I thought I was feeling a little better ... Its been over a month since Bono died ... And this week I've gone downhill again. So I wrote a little poem for him ... well for me really.
If you’re down then I’m right here
I’ll come to you and hold you near
Every minute of every day
I’m right here so come today
Lay in my arms, I’ll hold you tight
I’ll stay with you throughout the night
Just let me know where you are
I know you can’t be very far
For I feel you whole inside my heart
Although it breaks, its torn apart
But heres my arms to rest upon
And heres my love so very strong
I cannot promise not to cry
Nor can I ever say goodbye
I’d rather feel this living pain
Of never holding you again
Than contemplate forgetting you
Than daring to try and love anew …
When I cry please come to me
And rest your head upon my knee
Come and hug me one last time
Make it better, angel of mine
Tell me how you run and play
And how you’re happy every day
Tell me that your pain is gone
And that you’re young again and strong
And tell me that you miss me too
That you think of me when I am blue
Then I will smile and set you free
With promises to visit me
Once in a while, in the setting sun
Come home and visit your old mum
I’ll open my arms for a long warm hug
I’ll hold you tight and close and snug
Do not think you’re left behind
Although I live you’re in my mind
Although I smile I think of you
Although I love, I love you too.
