Have You

Have you ever known someone with a touch so gentle and sweet
that just to hold their hand in yours would make you feel complete
   And have you ever really needed someone
yet to need them as much as you do
all you really need is for them to have a need of you
   Ever cared for someone, cared enough to want to ease away their pain
if you've ever cared so much theres nothing to explain
   Have you ever missed someone
missed them so much you just couldn't bear
missed them from the moment they walked away, leaving the pain to linger there
Now tell me, tell me if you dare
   Have you ever really loved someone...

Yes I have.....and it really was painful to have seen him walk away. This entire poem is how I feel about him and the whole situation. Great write! You really captured emotions here.
