If Ever I Love Again


If ever I should fall in love, again
it just wouldn't be the same
as it was, when I loved you

For the deep admiration
I once felt for you could never
be given to anyone else

For when you and I first met
you were everything to me
managing to get inside

My heart had been closed
for such a long, long time
still, you manged to enter

Now, I sit here all alone
always with you on my mind
wondering what went wrong

My heart still aches inside
sometimes, I want to cry
but, what good would it do

The pain I had felt that day
when I had to get up and go
isn't as strong, as it was then

Even though, I know it is best
you are there, and I am here
it still hurts me today, at times

A very sad yet beautiful poem. Eventually over time you get over the hurt. It has taken me almost 4 years to get over Greg. Keep up the awesome poetry!!!

Poetry is beauty in words.

Good advice from Julie, Sue.

There are even times
we can glean as a fond memory...

even after the pain...

Sue - you will be surprised just how quickly those memories and longing fade when you meet someone new. Believe me!
Hugging you, Chris

So much hurts in the looking back and I often wonder why we let it.  I guess we just want to keep what was good but in that yearn we end up hurting each time we remember.  Enjoyed your thoughts and emotion here.
