Notes About The Poem

 

Once I had gold, but now I only have dust. - Peter Dome.

Miss you so much Diane, Come back and finish what you started

I'd wait forever just for you X.

(The girl in the picture is not Diane But looks like her)

 

Come Back And Finish What You Started

Looking back on when we were Young so long ago
It's so sad 
When I think of all the things we had
And magical things we used to do
Fate and providence Brought us together
Fate and providence tore us apart
I gave you the world
And you took my heart so true
Forever and ever it belongs to you
No one has ever made feel so alive
And the happiest to
And I'm still hopelessly in love with you 

We used to write our names in a heart drawn in Sand
Forever and ever
You'd be my girl I your man
You made feel like a giant when I held your hand
Suddenly everything made sense
And I could understand

You opened up the garden gate
Behind walls hidden for just us two
Painted the flowers in beautiful colours 
That I never knew
Lost in a spectacular dream come true
The sun smiled down
And my heart did too
Stopped the rain and cleared the dark sky too
Giving the clearest view

The story in your smiling beguiling twinkling eyes
Told the truth
That's why I fell for you 

In my dreams, I'm desperately searching 
As I try to find you
Visiting the places that we once knew
So close I can almost feel your sweet breath
Upon my face
And in a secret place
I ask passing people if they know you
And where I can find you
They always say they don't know
And don't have a clue
But I keep on searching all night
Waking up in the morning 
Switch off the bedside light
Tear wet pillow and a picture of you I held so tight
In the album of my heart
That I keep under lock and key
For eternity

Every day is another step back
Into the shadows of yesterday
My heart breaks apart
As I wrote this last letter I pulled 
From the fountain of my heart
That I gave you
And only to you
You may never read my letter
But I had to release the pain
The punches to the heart
Just too many feelings
And things heavy on my troubled mind
They say time is the healer
But is a thief
And gives no relief

The only time I was happy
Is when I was with you
Comparing every girl with you
Who reminded me of me of the things you'd do
But no one came close
And my heart took an overdose

Gone is the summer we never wanted to end
This was real true love
And I never got over you

I used to send you flowers
And so many love letters
And you wrote back
My flowers will have lost their petals and perished
So long ago
What happened to those love letters I sent
I'll never know
I try to forget you
But I can't let go
Showered you with love and affection
And such devotion and tenderness
We were blessed 
We were one
Birds of a feather
And together we built a cosy nest

My devotion was deeper than any ocean
Tother our waves were  so strong
I have never been happy since that day
And you took my breath and heart away

Do you ever for a moment think of me
And in the movie in your mind
You dewing and play
Taking you back to yesterday
 I hope everything is going right for you
And someone is making you happy
As I used to do
The gap between us seems like a star far away

But maybe just maybe
I'll see you on the other side.

Your is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love and loss, capturing the profound impact of a past relationship on the poet's heart and soul. Through its lyrical prose and heartfelt sentiment, the poem invites readers to empathize with the universal experience of longing for what was lost, yet holding onto hope for what may come. I hope Diane comes back to you..
