Analysis of "I Still Hold You, My Forever Love"
I held you in my arms that day; I watched you as you slipped away. I held you closer, I cried, " don't go; don't leave me now, please oh no!" As you took your last breath, it was as though you took mine. I have just one regret, that is, that we didn't have more time. Thirty-six years we shared together; we were rarely apart. Most were filled with precious memories; those I hold dear in my heart.........Therefore, I still hold you, my forever love
