Pretty Soon... Pretty soon I'll be driving away. There's not a chance now that I could stay. I wish you could come too. I'll always have your memory, but I wonder will it be enough to pull me through. I'll cherish every word you write. I'll sit up and read them by candle light. Letters from a friend. What if I get too close to the flame and I burn the letters where you signed your name? Will I forget you then? Should I take a picture too? Something else to pull me through. I'll keep it in a special place. But a picture could fade or a picture could tear. I may put it away and then forget where. Will I then forget your face? Pretty soon I'll be driving away. There's not a chance now that I could stay. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

I really liked this poem a lot even though it was sad. Wonderful writing! Take care! Amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends." "Fate exists but it can only take you so far, Because once you're there It's up to you to make it happen." |

hi Tennessee, Excellent sentiments here....the sorrow of leaving a loved one stated implicitly through the worries of letters being burnt and pictures being faded or tore....very nice Letters may be burnt, pictures may be tore but memories remain blazing, Tennessee cos we will never forget a loved one close to our hearts |

TennesseeAngel~ I like the way you expressed your sentiments in this one. I will always believe that nothing keeps the memories better than the heart. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
