Poem(3)

I had written this when our pet died a few years back,I know a pet isn't a DW or DH but the feelings of loss are great. When we have a great loss you get a lump that you can't swallow. I almost posted this in those who have lost a loved one. I hope my DW has a long ways to go.

Orange is Just a color
But Butterscotch made it  Sunshine

 
A thousand I Love You’s
In one day
Is really Not Ok

They should be spread
Across One’s life
To give a life it’s rhyme.

Some days are fun and full of sun
But they are short and sweet
I love you then, seems like a 10
The day’s we want to keep.

Some days are dull, and like a blur
and many make up life.
I love you then, is like the blur
It’s here and then it’s gone.

Some days are hard, and bittersweet
When life is short, and time complete
I Love you Then, is hard to say
And tears, come down like rain.

So don’t save many for that day.
When words are hard to say.
So When the last I love you’s said
Your  Love it is complete
