filled with emptiness and tears ever since you were taken from me The time we had together So short - like a light touch of a feather the sunny and dreamy two years I've heard them say 'You have to live day by day' But we only had brief moments together There is no life without limits Each day we'd have a few hours, maybe just minutes But we never know what the limits are So, we learned to measure time differently like a raindrop falling down gently not in years or minutes, but in moments Each moment being beautiful and complete, we lived it to the fullest when ever we would meet Each moment in itself a lifetime And now that I'm alone watching the flowers over your tomb grown I must learn to measure time again And like a quiet wind through the trees 'cause our love didn't die nor cease You still travel with me - moment by moment |

Author's Notes: This was written many years ago when 'Though Lovers Be Lost...' first aired as a way to deal with the death of Catherine. I had never tried to write poetry of any kind before but somehow it seemed the most appropriate way of transcribing my feelings on paper. I know that Beauty and the Beast is 'just a TV show' but I loved the characters and the stories, and even though I knew of Catherine's death before I actually saw the episode in question it did effect me more than I could have imagined. Amazingly enough, little scribblings like this one did help me get over it all, and after a while I was able to go back and watch - and enjoy - the earlier, classic episodes again.
