on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

I said I would love you forever
in the misty haze of summers past
you didn't speak any words
but your eyes said it all
we listened to the radio
we thought we knew what love was

but we were in over our heads
this thing was bigger and better than us
it was more than us, greater than us
and then it ate us alive
and those calm talks were no more
and one day you left
and as i sat and watched you
walk away from the porch
where we had had so much fun
i wasn't sad or glad or mad
there was no emotion or feeling
that could describe the thoughts i had
it was an utter lack of being
i was at that moment
completely devoid of feeling
and not the least bit sentimental

people come and people go
some mean more than others
and i knew that in a little while
i wouldn't even remember your name

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

This is an interesting write noah. I think if you checked your spelling before posting, it would make the meaning much clearer to the reader. Still in all, a good poem. Chris

I love you
With a thousand hearts."
