Saying good bye to you was the hardest thing to do.
I watched you walk away and in my mind your memory grew.
At first the simplest task was a burden I could not bare.
I couldn’t focus; I couldn’t think; you would no longer be there.
For those many months, you gave my life meaning, such zest.
Who would have known I’d fall in love; who would have guessed?
I loved all you did, what you said, how you made me feel.
You took over my soul; my heart you selfishly started to steal.
Blinding love kept me from seeing what was the truth.
You didn’t know what you wanted; I wasn’t enough for you.
So you left me one night-I was thinking all was just fine.
Then the words over the phone left me stunned and dieing.
Trying to stay away was the second hardest thing to do.
All these years, you thought surely I had gotten over you.
What you didn’t know was I thought about you every day.
The image of your eyes, smile and kiss never went away.
Each night as I slumbered in my dreams you would creep.
You would hold me, kiss me, tell me my eyes were so sweet.
So you can see you were with me both day and night.
You were never from my heart since the night you took flight.
Now you are back again, stealing my heart as before.
Why am I so blind, so willing to come back for more?
I know what the future will bring; it is written in stone.
I am destined to lose you again, to again be left all alone.
And this time around there is something I know for sure.
I’d do it all again, you see, for my love for you there is no cure.

Would it have been worse

everyone decides

for when it goes wrong you have my love and my desire for your life to be as good as you would even want it

for me

I am as i can

it is somthing inside of two people - maybe it is never right in the beginning but sex and everything overcome that, maybe years but I hold these conversatiosn with my Lady

Like my poem 4 ways to write a poem and none works but I still hear the song

I'm sorry love if there isn't that song for you

you are right, there is no cure, and even when you know you might lose again, you allow yourself to be vulnerable because you believe
it is love
