Essentially Yours

I hope,
wish and pray
you would miss me
at least half as much
as I miss you.

Then you would be in arms
and I would be kissing you.
But alas it doesn't always
work out like that.

Before you know it
the fun is done.
Her smiling face disappears
and on my face a tear appears.

Will she now forget my name?
Were her words of love just lies.
Her kisses merely a game?
Perhaps it wasn't love at all.

Love could never close that door.
Love remains essentially yours.

"...perhaps it wasn't love at all..."

Only you would know, and sometimes, we don't want to know...

you speak your heart...one day, your heart will be heard....

perhaps. . . but. . . sometimes, as Sunshine said, it's better to not know. . .

not too much longer James. . . great poem. . .

You answered yourself.  True love doesn't close the door.  Patience.  Joyce
