Alone

I wandered along for so many years, had some heartache and shed some tears.
Then I met you and it all became clear, I wanted to hold you oh so near.
To never let you out of my life, to one day have you for my wife.
But the dark day came and took it all away, and now the pain it seems is here to 
stay.
Then one day came and you were there again, laughing, smiling and just being my 
friend. We had a good time and had some fun, even though you were always on the 
run.
Then you got cold and pulled away, and just like before it became a dark day.
You don’t even call me on the phone, so here I am again all alone....©

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
