A Love Poem's Goodbye

I shall miss the poetry
hiding in your smile,
or the way your hand
fit once, inside of mine.

In bitterness my heart turns
against me, longing to feel
again the beat of yours;
one, two, in time. 

A summer romance
as they all say, it seems
never stand the test of time
no matter the hopes we place.

I am forever in debt
to the wonder and love
you shared with me
those summer nights.

The agony, in hopes, will pass,
but, with tenderness will I 
look upon the memories
we have here shared.

I shall miss the beauty
of your eyes, and the wonder 
of your kiss. Those nights under the stars;
goodbye, my love, goodbye.

This is one of my faves of your work. Maybe because it triggers my heart in a way. I can relate to this.. Having your heart broken is one of the worsts pains you can face in life besides being beaten by your own blood..in my opinion. I gave this a 7.. im new to poetry soup so i hope that is the highest rating because this poem deserves it.
