Hi everyone, I'm sorry I've been away for so long. Life has been pretty busy for me, and this is the first chance I had to sit down and write out my thoughts. Love you all.

We were young and somewhat immature
Neither of us had a serious relationship before

It was a feeling so fresh and new
Being the cutest couple in school

Finally, my happiness was found
How quickly your birthday rolled around

I remember the bracelet you put on my wrist
I thanked you gratefully and then we kissed

You surprised me with a gift on your birthday
I promised you that i'd wear it always

Then you got the camera and took pics of me
I could tell just how much you enjoyed photography

We sat peacefully on the porch swing
Holdings hands, absorbing everything

We must've been some naive sophomores
Thinking this love would be forevermore

It felt like a permanent fixture
until some other girl entered the picture

Couldn't have been as happy as you said you were
'Cause not long after my suspicions you went for her

It's quite an understatement to say I was crushed
There I sat with a broken heart in the dust

Just when I got you out of my head
I heard the news, you two had wed

I noticed something, a strange thing
You weren't wearing a wedding ring

So I figured, hey-it's just a rumor
Or a rotten joke, which had no humor

Turns out the rumor was true to life
He was her husband and she his wife

I knew his happiness meant everything to me
but I couldn't stop myself from acting selfishly

We graduated and a year has gone by
Tears never helped me to understand why

Since then I've found love again
I've released all my doubts

We teach one another lessons
Isn't that what life's all about?

(big hugggssssss) Oh Joanna, I'm so sorry that happened, sweet friend, though I never had a high school sweetheart (you're my one and only sweetheart) I understand how it must feel to have to let go of something like that and I hope you continue to wish him the greatest happiness as you always hold these special memories to your heart! (kiss on lips) But know now I will always love you and as long as you love me I will always love you and will be yours truly! (kisses) I love you my sweet Joanna, my green-eyed beauty, I have missed you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much!



Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes it is what life is all about, Joanna...

I think that everyone who walks into or out of our lives, has some lesson to teach us...

Welcome back to Passions, I've been wondering where you have been, and its a relief to find out that you've been busy and not sick...
Its so good to read your poetry again.
