I remember the day we created art,
The surest sign I gave you my heart.
Posing and kissing we took shot after shot,
The caption reading my deepest thought.

We hung it with care in our little room,
Our symbol of love among doom and gloom,
Something of us, that we made together,
Our always, not just in fair weather.

Years went by, yet it remained,
Though on occasion things were strained,
There was a time I tried taking it down,
Anxiety, pain, I thought I'd drown.

I've carried the memory every day,
Viewing our picture since you went away.
Still we talked and you were near,
How can I keep it if you aren't here?

Am I sad and jealous, full of whining?
Am I wasting away, foolishly pining?
Stop Lizard Brain! You'll not have your way!
Say not these things, it will ruin her day!

My dear, my love, my last puzzle piece,
Forgive me my flaw, my reptile's decreased,
I needed to hear our art is still important to you,
It will remain as it's in your heart too.
