My Love Looks Better on You ©Dawn Minott | with audio

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry

My love looks better on you
Like my favorite summer dress, fitted and true
You always smiled in pure delight
When I wore it on our many date nights

But the seasons, they changed way too fast
Autumn’s chill claimed you at last
Now the dress lies empty and cold
Haunting stories in the memory it holds

In the whispers of the evening breeze
I hear your laughter through the trees
The way you wore my love, so well
It echoes from where your spirit now dwells

Though you’re not here, your love remains
A soothing balm for all my pains
I see it in the stars above
For my love looks better on you, my love

In my dreams, you wear it still, I know
My love, like my dress, in memory flow
The memories of how your hand clung to mine
Feels like they’re escaping on wings to the Divine

My love looks better on you
Even now, in skies of blue
And when the night begins to fall
I’ll feel your presence through it all

Until we meet where time is none
And all that’s lost is once more won
I’ll hold this thought so pure and true:
My love was always better on you
