Love, Learn and Forget

I will never forget the first day I placed my eyes on you There you stood, slowly I felt my heart grow light I knew right there and then there was a special place in my soul for you We spoke, kissed and grew by one another, only fate would soon step in A fear with in you, a flaw that lived over me All fell to just writing to one another every now and then Love stood there and saw as we fell apart over nothing Slowly my shadow grew to stay away, perhaps i am meant to be forever alone I have wept, and searched for another just like you Some come close, others seem to match you, yet I always realize the fact A fact that there is only one in this universe to be just like you, and that is you There is an ocean of emotion with in my being It's so hard to accept the fact you are not for me, For by your side not only did i grow in love, but i also found a reason to love me These clouds that hang over me, dark and gray Pause the hour, least the rain keeps me from seeing It's so hard not to hurt I miss you so bad, it's hard to breathe Yet you smile and speak to other hearts forgetting that I even exist I will always hold dear the day that I met you, for it changed my life It's pointless to try if your heart is not here with me It belongs to another, and I shiver Why cant I find my happily ever after, I only ask God I learned to write, to speak love unto her ears, to care and be there for her And now i must learn to forget her

It hurts when love is gone. Been in the same position as you. Nothing you can do but except life the way it is. There is a reason for why things happen. We all have our hurts and become strong at heart, with each hurt, and disappointment. Our world is a school where we learn to live. Take care:) Derena

Wrenching emotion bared from your pen Edward. I have been here ... exactly where you are. It's so tragic when this kind of intensity is only felt by one ... and such a rarity that you both feel it. You will never forget this feeling ... and no other will measure up. But time will heal you and you will take with you whatever lesson you were meant to learn from the experience. :) ~Judy

Edward; This is touching to the heart and soul. Sometimes things are just not meant to be. I know - I've been there. God must have his reasons. Take care and have a blessed day... Lucilla

"and now i must learn to forget her" how beautiful!!! I have been in your place, oh boy have I been in your place... but time will heal :) Sometimes the happily ever after will come when we least expect it. At least, we all hope so. Beautiful poem, though, and beautifully expressed. You are very talented :) I'm sorry she let you go. Have a wonderful week! <3 Love, Juli-Michelle

This poem is magical. .. "I will always hold dear the day that I met you, for it changed my life" I don't think we should forget our heartbreaks. It's about learning from them, as tragic as they are. Knowing that with each emotion we feel we learn to grow... almost as if to prepare us for the day when we do meet out true one. Something serendipitous... :)

Edward, spoken words from a man who has given his heart to love. A sincere heartfelt write. I hope she knows the poet in you, if not, try sending her this poem. What could it hurt?
