Feeling down and out,
just think of love.
Then, if you doubt it,
I'll give you a shove.

Being with you,
makes me feel good.
I will be true,
as long as I live.

Today
I lived,
Today
I learned,
Today
I cried,
Today
a part of me died.

Remembering the memories,
and the joy we had;
I've cried all my tears
because I am so sad.

Savoring the times we had.
The fun and the laughter.
Everything was good, not bad.
I realize now, I loved you.

Today
I've lived,
Today
I learned,
Today
I cried
Today
a part of me died.

Waiting and hoping,
that's all I can do.
If only you could see,
I loved you.

Dreaming and lying,
playing it cool;
I need you to see,
I was such a fool.

Today
I've lived,
Today
I've learned,
Today
I cried,
Today
a part of me died.

The time I've lost,
I really needed.
I couldn't afford your cost,
so you left me.

The love I showed,
you took as unreal.
My heart, you hold
and squeeze it to death.

Today
I've lived,
Today
I've learned,
Today
I've cried,
Today
a part of me died.

Don't you understand,
I loved you so much.
I'm dying without you,
I need your touch.

The joy I had,
has gone away.
The life I lead,
has gone astray.

Today
I've lived.
Today
I've learned.
Today
I've cried.
Today
my heart died.

You were the onyl one,
I cared for.
Now you've gone,
and closed my door.......

thank you both for your comments.  I wanted this to show how much I sometimes crave affection and how sometimes it hurts to be loved.

epot,
  I'm sorry.
"I realize now, I loved you."
  Is it too late? Hope not. Send her a copy of this poem, with a little gift that isn't disposable, like a locket, something that she can wear and be reminded of you. A little trick gift, if you will. Best of luck and the poem is sooo sweet and nice. marcy

Alle'cram, yes she's gone now.  this was written about an ex-girlfriend long before I met my beautiful wife.  Thanks for the comments though.

thank you both for the comments.  It was worth it to write this, it helped me to close a chapter in my life.  It also helped me to get on with my life.
