I held his hand as we quietly walked around.

There was more love in my heart for him than I ever thought could be found.

I wanted to spend forever and beyond just him and I.

And the thought that entered my mind made me want to cry.

It was then that I knew that he and I wouldn't last.

It was clear that our love would eventually become a part of our past.

Into a million pieces, my heart not just broke but shattered.

Because he was struggling, and helping him to me was what mattered.

He was my rock, my heart, my best friend.

And the love I had for him then, I believed, would never truly end.

Nor did I want it to, but I still remember that day.

Years have now since passed, yet the memory with me continues to stay.

We walked around the fair, his camera quick at his hand.

We laughed and smiled, and my heart swelled, and I felt so grand.

A song that I've long liked entered into my mind.

And now, each time I hear it, his image is what I find.

We have moved on to different parts of life, and I doubt he thinks of me.

Yet, deep inside the walls of my heart, there is a place for him that still be.

He made my world; he opened my eyes.

He gave me wind to fly throughout all the skies.

He taught me more than I believed I could know.

And my love for him was always on overflow.

He made me feel alive; he made me know love.

He was almost unreal; he was all my dreams were made of.

Although my heart was shattered long before we came to an end.

And the night it became a reality, my knees buckled; not only did they bend.

Years have now since passed, and I'm still grateful for the gift given to me.

Through him, I learned and grew, yet still, in the walls of my heart, he still be.
