An Incomplete Love Story

Only heaven knows what I'm going through tonight, there is nothing to say that would make this feel alright. Aches inside where I hide the secrets, where I keep this, seeping into my conscious, powerful thoughts of his kiss. We fumbled through the first times, young lovers blind, studies falling while we were on each others minds. Handwritten notes promised we'll be together forever, but separation lost the after to our happily ever. I can still feel his arms around me that afternoon, moving trucks came and they were leaving too soon. We ached for each other as promises filled the empty, "I'll be back for you baby, and I swear you'll marry me" Teenage hopes, high school sweetheart dreams die, left to face the loss of my best friend, all I did was cry. Postage stamped proclamations eased the pain, couldn't ease the drought with meager rain. Too far the distance and distractions slowly came, we found other companions but it was never the same. Hours of agony turning in the years of silence, with others we bonded family alliance. I was there when you married her, wished it was me, you confessed the same, we weren't meant to be. One last kiss, a simple touch of lips, heart breaking deprived of my destiny, I spend forever aching. Only heaven knows what I am going through tonight, Twenty years have passed, I'm still holding tight to the pictures of the past when love was purity, him and me, there is more to our destiny. Just another chance, another touch, that feeling again, I want to wear the ring on my finger from my best friend. For Contest: An Incomplete Love Story Date: 7-13-18
