I Will Always Love You How I Do I Let Go Of A Prayer For You
I have always wanted to be the best version of myself. I wanted to be that friend who always has your back, who would give you a hug when you needed it and laugh at your dumb jokes. But sometimes life gets in the way and things don’t work out as planned, which is why now I am writing this prayer for you:
Time is a thief
Time is a thief.
It steals the days I should have lived.
It steals the hours I should have kissed you.
It steals the minutes I should have held your hand.
A thief of the days I should have lived
This poem is about how we lose the days of our lives when we are young. We are too young to realize that time is a thief, and it steals every single day from us until there’s nothing left but the memories we carry inside our heart.
I should have lived longer than this. I should have been able to see you grow into your own person, hold your hand at graduation, walk down the aisle with you at your wedding and eventually hold my grandchildren in my arms as they were born and grew up in this world without me around to guide them through their childhoods like any good father would do for his children.
I should have kissed your lips more than once before I passed away from this world knowing full well that no matter what else happens between us both physically and metaphorically speaking throughout our lifetimes together on this planet Earth together(which wouldn’t take long), one thing remains true: love always wins over hate because love lasts forever whereas hate only lasts for so long depending upon how much energy someone puts into hating something else negatively before they run out of steam completely which means only then can true forgiveness begin happening between people instead of just mere tolerance; tolerance being where both sides simply agree not argue anymore but don’t necessarily mean anything positive towards one another either way hence why there isn’t really any progress made in terms of making things better between two individuals involved who disagree with each other politically or religiously within society currently working together peacefully!
The hours I should have kissed you
I thought about you all day today, and I think about you every day. I wonder if you realize how much time we should have shared together, and how many hours of loving each other we should have had. As a result of this thought, my heart has been broken over the years because it wants so much more than what it has received from your side.
The minutes I should have held your hand
Holding hands is a symbol of intimacy, trust and connection. Holding hands says that you are in sync with the person you are holding hands with. You are both going in the same direction, moving forward together as one unit.
When I was young, I used to hold my mom’s hand everywhere we went together; from her picking me up from school to when we would visit my grandparents on Sundays for dinner. We would hold hands no matter where we were going or what time of day it was because she wanted me close to her at all times so that she could feel safe knowing where I was at all times (even though I gave her more than enough reason not too). She loved being able to touch me physically on a daily basis by holding my hand wherever we went which made me feel extra special as if nothing else mattered but us being there together sharing those moments together each day without fail!
The seconds I should have loved you with all my heart
Love is a choice, a commitment and a promise. Love is a responsibility, risk and gift. Love is a decision to be with someone for the rest of your life. This means that you have chosen to love them even when they do not feel like it or when they don’t show their love in return. The second I should have loved you with all my heart is the second that I didn’t care about myself anymore because I loved you so much that I would sacrifice everything just because I knew deep down inside what was right for me was being with you
But not one of them was mine to keep
But not one of them was mine to keep
The hours I should have kissed you,
The minutes I should have held your hand,
The seconds I should have loved you with all my heart, but not one of them was mine to keep.
They were yours to make and that made them perfect.
In a time when we often forget to appreciate what’s around us, it’s always important to remember the good things. As much as you may miss her and wish she was still here, there was a time when you had her by your side and she was yours to make.
Those memories are forever yours now and that makes them perfect. It also means that you have all of those good times with her inside of your heart—and they’re always going to be there waiting for you whenever you need them most.
I hope this helps make sense of things for you, because I don’t think anybody should ever have to feel alone in their grief or be forced into thinking about how their loved one might still be alive if only things were different…
You were and still are my everything, but you have to let go of me. I will always love and miss you but it’s time for us to move on.
