Only This Heart Knows
Amy M. Kennedy

Only this heart knows
Of the special memories you and I share
Only this heart knows
That I mean it when I say, I'll always be there

And though I feel things between us
Coming to a change, as things often do
I still can't help but feel inside this heart of mine
How very much I love you

Only this heart knows
Of the countless conversations we've had
How you've made me laugh
When I was feeling blue and sad

Sometimes though parts of me
Throw my hands up with despair and confusion
But deep inside I still know what we have is real
It's much more than a mere dream or a fantasy illusion

When we say goodbye each day
I won't lie...it tears my heart into two
Sometimes I miss you so much
Feels like I'm going crazy...but what am I to do

Only this heart knows
Of the numerous tears shed on a pillow at night
How I dry them and try to smile
At the start of the new dawn's light

Life is like the four seasons
Nothing ever remains the same
The world is forever turning
But there is no one to blame

I pray you and I don't end
But if we do I'll know the reasons why
Till then I'll continue to always love you
Never wanting to hear that sad word goodbye

Only this heart knows
Of the love that is so deep inside
But now you know all of this too
My feelings I'll no longer hide

Wow...this is really well done. I like it, as I am often that way.

Hey girlie...beautiful poem...yes, unfortunately, things do change, but, real love, even if it changes in form, will never fade away...excellent write, Aims...you know I love this...

-e  ~~~~~~

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

the only thing that remains the same is that nothing remains the same... well said and YES, only you know ... only two  hearts know.... and isn't that a beautiful thing? you show a lot of wisdom with your words here, amy, and a heart full of love, longing, and acceptance.

beautifully written!

...as I read your words, I feel your feelings and emotions wash over me...I have stood before, and at this moment stand again right where you are...soft words, tender emotions...shooting straight from the heart...
