A Love In The Past


It seems like forever
Since I felt your love
Yet the pain can still cut
As if it happened moments ago
Most of my rational self, my mind
Know things are how they should be
You taught me love to love honestly
Unconditionally with no boundaries
Through he heartache you showed me
How strong I actually am
My heart knows we weren’t meant to be
Still it crumbled at the pain, striking so deep
Now sometime later it is almost whole
Bound tightly by a new and stronger love
I’m grateful for being loved by you
Even as I licked my open and raw wounds
I would not trade the past
And even knowing the pain to come
I still would have opened my soul to you
You taught me so much in the time we shared
And for a moment in a life time
You offered the most precious gift of all
Love.

Nicely written piece. I could feel your pain through your line. Love is something to be charished and it takes a long time before it is not on your mind a lot.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
