Teardrops

I see something shining
In those pretty eyes of yours,
Something that's also forming in mine.
After everything we've had and been through,
We promised everything would be fine.

But nothing really was
As it seemed, and what I saw
Suddenly became so unclear.
Life became such a blur to me
Each and every time we came near.

Droplets form between
Those two eyes of yours,
But please don't wipe them away.
In all my sadness and sorrows,
These feelings are here to stay.

Come with me and let
The teardrops run together,
Flowing in an endless stream.
Our affections will always be remembered
Like the end of a forgotten dream.

But the tears hold fast to
That beautiful face of yours,
And cling to a love that never wants to let go.
There are just so many things I want to tell you,
So much that I want to let you know.

I don't want us to part
Like this, if we had to go our
Separate paths you and I.
Because when that happens our tears will fall,
The moment we say goodbye.

Hey everyone. Here's my first post here in a while after summer full of saying goodbye to old friendships and welcoming new ones.  This was written for someone I hold dear in my heart, someone I think about whenever I do just about anything.  We haven't been quite so open recently as we were before, but I hope it won't be like this for long.  Without her, nothing I do would have a reason to exist.

On a brighter note, me and a friend are in the process of composing this into a song, with a piano for the background.  The poem will be used as the lyrics, with the fourth stanza being the chorus. Some parts might have to be changed to flow with the music, and not to sound too strained.  Maybe I'll post a recording of it when it's finished. (She's going to be singing it)

This poem was absolutely amazing. I couldn't love a poem more. It hit home so well. I really liked this. Nice job. Definitely going into my library.

This poem is simply elegant, it has a haunting beauty that touches the spirit, nicely done, it will sound beautiful as a song and I like the notation of insperation, you may say goodbye to the people but there memories will be in the heart forever...sigh..ok I'm get philisophical time for me to be quiet!

The problem with resisting temptation is you never know if you'll get the chance again
