The lights became dimmed
‘‘Twas time for sleep
All said goodnight
The lights went out
Then the phone sounded
Alan answered it
It was his wife
Asking if all was well
Of course it was
the conversation continued
Between him and his wife
All was well
And then he said those words
Those words I say no more
He told his wife he loved her
As I did mine
And still do
Although she is now a star
Shining her love
Down on me

A sensitive write Gold.
They should have phoned me in 1066 and said 'Don't bother to turn up!'
Thank you Orchi.
... words chosen with such care sir and laid here as both a permanent fixture and testimony to what is essentially, your undying love ...
So kind Neville, thank you.

How did I miss this one. Wonderful write Andy. Like me, you don't have to say the words. There's a continuous connection between you and your lady where those words are always there. ; )
So true AP, that connection is always there.
