The One That Got Away

Be mine, my love for eternity, I perfectly thought with certainty. I was only thirteen and in dreams or so it seemed, my mind sunny gleams. He would saunter the school halls with friends; I would watch past weakness sense extends. I couldn't wane his blue eyes dreams of love, my promise amid bright stars above. I at last got his eyes attention, but to late a look or a mention. Parents decided to move across, the country, my heartbroken and loss. I saw him once again years later, a wife and children he did cater He was too busy, he didn't see me, so ashamed I hid behind a tree. Seeing him once more, laughter and tears brought lost memories of those last years. 7/6/2020 2. Heartbroken ''H'' Contest, New Or Old Poems Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Constance La France

It's amazing just how we hold someone special in our hearts for years, but; on a funnier note, are you checking the trees out behind you to see who is peeping at you with the same reminiscing heart . . . : )
