Poem Title:
Poem
I don't believe in Love, especially true love. But, I have loved that girl since the day I first put my eyes on her. I'd kill any man who ever caused her harm. I'd fight an army to be by her side. For many years she lived in my memory, my recollections. That was after she left or more accurately was taken away. I held on to little snapshots of her; photographs that I knew they no longer looked like her anymore. I just needed something to hold on to. I held on to memories of the time when I brought her back to health, selflessly giving of myself; saving her from an impending hell. Unseen circumstances drew everyone's world apart, oceans apart. But, oceans receded and those memories that I needed were replaced with new memories. Lives changed and different paths were taken. Along the way many promises had been broken. Things were created and destroyed. There still remained a void, a void only to be filled only by the one I have loved since the day I first put my eyes on her. I searched for her; for years I looked for her along a dusty highway, at a crossing where I thought she might be. She was never there, but she was never far either; just out of reach. Years passed and one day unexpectedly I found her; or rather she found me, by chance. She had changed so much, but then again so had I. But, the hunger for her hadn't changed, neither had her need for me. I was not what I once was to her, and she was no longer what she was to me. We had changed to be exactly what we needed each other to be.
