This Dress

I wear this dress to remember him...
In this dress was where I feel in love
We danced the night away at a ball
I had never been to one before
he showed me off, I was his trophy
He adored me..
I was his love..
I wear this dress to remember him..
I swear I can still smell the scent of him
The way he held me close
We swayed our bodies together
He was my coat on that cool summer night
I wear this dress to remember him
We took a stroll banks of the river
Noticing the moonlight on the water shiver
He kissed my lips as the wind blew gently...
How I love this man
I wear this dress to remember him..
The first time he told me he loved
I had this dress on.
He said he the color brought out my skin tone
And if we weren't alone, I wouldn't have this dress on long
He loved me in..
He lusted me even more
Needless to say our date was cut short..
He took me home and in the bedroom
Is where he smoothly removed the dress from me
It hit the floor, revealing my naked body
The rest.. A whirl wind
To mention the things we did would be a sin..
I wear this dress to remember
All the good times and even a few tears
It reminds me of him..
I wear this dress.. it was his favorite color..
At his bedside where the sickness was taking over
I laid next to my lover..
Held his hand and played our favorite song
Hummed it in his ear as it played low on the stereo
Tears streamed my face and landed on his..
How I love this man..
He cried with me
Gripped my fingers
Leaned up to kiss my worries away
His chest rose and fell..
His last words "I love you my bell"
And he was gone...
I stroll on the river bank and I think of him
I have dinner at our restaurant and order our favorite meal
I hold this dress up to me, close my eyes, and I can see him
I put this dress on..
To remember him.
