It's Been a While

It's been a while and it seems like a lifetime My memories of you starts to fade from time to time It's been a while since the last time you said goodbye But I didn't notice years are passing by Though time runs so fast I am still stuck in the past It's been a while that you weren't here I always feel that I am out of nowhere It's been a while since you let go of me Oh Why did you let go of me? I keep asking this to myself but even this question can't be answered by myself. It's been a while since I start wondering who to blame Such an action is lame It's been a while since my heart breaks But still the pain is at peak When are you coming back? I know you are not coming back. I know you will never see my smile And hear me say, "Hey! It's been a while" By: Doris Jamoner Date: 05/15/2014

Two shoes of the same pair, we are. I know how hard it is to move on when someone you loved with every fiber of your being takes up residency in your soul, never vacating internally but gone, seemingly forever, externally. I will definitely be revisiting this piece in the future. Great work! - Raven

Hi Doris, nice to know you: A very poignant and plaintive poem and well done, I might add. It's sad to recall a lost love until you find someone else and if it was you, I hope you did. GREAT WRITE.

Our lives are dictated by our past. To move on sometimes would take away who we are and who we will become. Our pains and memories will either keep us going or hold us back. We decide what tunes we listen to and we decide what will either make us or break us... Great write... thank you! PR

This was a nice sentimental write. One spelling and one grammar correction though: Though time run so fast I am still stock in the past you probably meant Though time runs (or ran) so fast I am still stuck in the past Again, this was a pretty piece, had a lot of pathos.

ohh Thank you for your suggestion. I am still new here and my knowledge about forms are still limited. I am still in Letter B section as I don't have much time reading and understanding it all but I still invest time reading poems and learning everything about here.

Dear Doris, Probably everyone on Poetry Soup can relate to this compelling message of longing and lost love. Like you, I tend to dwell in the past. It takes me years to recover from rejection, but eventually the wounds do heal. Very heartfelt write! Best wishes, Carolyn
