I got up from her side and left her in a manner she would stop me; I turned and walked away… She did not stop me Neither did she call me back. Step after faltering step, I kept wandering away from her, At each step hoping She would stop me, Hoping at any moment She would call me back – But I kept on going drifting away from her until I was near her no more. Oh, she did not stop me Neither did she call me back. At every turn I stopped, Struggled awhile to wait, Floundered hopelessly then moved on— forever torn asunder from her! Not until then did I realize, How sick at heart I was How gravely hurt I was How intensely I missed her Alas, she did not stop me, She did not call me back. ~"Best Love Poem #3 contest by SKAT A
