Poem
When I returned your ring I sat in confusion, I couldn’t run far enough away to forget you- When I left I didn’t know what I was losing, but I moved across the country for a fresh view. The tears in your eyes I will never forget, as I told you I was leaving the following week- Little did I know my decision I’d always regret, I was just so young, insecure and weak. It didn’t take too long before I realized my heart, it had always been you I’d been in love- My days were hell while we were apart, of all the remorseful tears I had enough. So I flew to you as fast as I ever could, down on bended knee with one white gold ring- I asked you to marry me this time for good, for you were the only one to make my soul sing. We spent months apart until our wedding day, long distance love had brought us closer than ever- But it never took long and I knew right away, eventually we’d be married and together forever. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, far away from you my heart grew ten times- Without you in my arms my soul would wander, and I spent my time writing verses of rhymes. Phone calls all day and late night conversations, revealing more secrets than we thought we shared- Even though it was one of the most difficult situations, we both soon realized how much we truly cared. The wedding day came and we bought a home, finally we were able to sleep in the same bed- No longer were we far away and feeling alone, but lost in each others tender embrace instead. Across the country I found my deep adoration, it will always be you who is the keeper of my heart- Today my life is full of joy and complete celebration, for true love was born from being far apart. Long Distance Love Contest Nicola Byrne October 13, 2016
