An Evening Spent

I read you, from beginning to end.
A time when she meant much to you
and as the words grew
so did the mention of love.

A forever dream, towering in silence.
I could see the transformation
and could feel what was never there for me.
A leisurely undertaking of rhyming words,
a loss in wonderings of never heards.

It was all there in front of me,
where I couldn't help but see.
Wondering why it could never be.
I just scolded myself and drank some tea.

Over and over those words of love,
a time before, a tenderness
not saved for me.
Over and over, rhymed poetry.

I read and I read until darkness fell,
knowing now what was show and tell,
except for me, never meant to be.
Those loving words always meant for she.

A warmth that I would never know.
A place where I could never go.
There it was so plain to see.
The love was hers, not meant for me.

Maureen, what a touching and tragic poem. I so understand, and it hurts just this much.

This is written very well. It is sad but the words are beautifully written.

Thank you Sandra, eventually it will only be an ache and then will be just a memory. Nice to see you here.
hugs,

Bill, not really, but I always enjoy your warmth of words.

Thank you Chris, for stopping by.

Dixie, sad must be my middle name right now.

CountryGal, thank you for stopping to read and respond. And if I have forgotten to welcome you... WELCOME and enjoy your time here.

I've found that we have to put the memories away too. . . lest they hurt again at times. . .

this is excellent. . . such melancholy. . . it speaks to me. . . great work. . .
