Did I Love You Too Much?

It's been like an age since I've seen you
as I wonder why you haven't called
and wonder where it was I went wrong
Was I guilty of loving you too much?
Were you drowning in the excesses
of my love or did you merely
move onto greener pastures?

My heart feels like an empty shell
as I sit here and remember
all the wonderful times we shared
You unearthed a side of me
that I hadn't even seen myself
You made me realise that I
had so much to give as my feelings
were revealed through my written words

How naked I felt as I exposed myself
on paper and lay out my heart
and soul for all to see
But you saw more of me than anyone
as you encouraged me and I was
guided by your love
Now you have gone and I remain
here with my words and my troubled mind

How very true it is that some people
come into our lives and so quickly some go
leaving footprints in our hearts
so we are never ever the same

You left a mark on my heart
that can never be erased
and I only hope that you still
have some fond memories of me
that you might keep in a
small corner of your heart

Bitter-sweet....on one hand to help her grow and be more than before and on the other hand leaving "foot prints on my heart"....that would make a great title for a follow up poem. You balanced the pain and the sweetness very well.

Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream.

I read the vulnerability of being in love in your words. And I appreciate the validity of your question. Though, I must say you are more gracious in loss that most. Very good write.

Another snapshot in my photo-album entitled "Things To Which I Can Relate"... True to your style, you have captured feelings and truths in a most real manner, Sue.
