Memories of Her

I saw you and I fell in love - I didn't think that was possible, until I truly lost my heart. A whirlwind romance... so nice but could it last? I prayed we'd never part. I wondered was it worth it, but then I conquered doubt (when I looked in your eyes). Of course it wasn't worth it - or so I'd tell myself now (now I know of your lies). Yet, I could forgive and forget - perhaps we could still make it work? But, no, you wouldn't want to try again. In my heart, I know you're right. We're wrong for one another. Let's say 'Adieu' and avoid more pain. written 9th July 2019 for Emile Pinet's Tri-Con contest

Facing up to the truth can be a painful matter, but better to be realistic than live in false hope. Regards // paul

A sad love poem, but one that saves a great deal of pain because of the brain taking charge over the heart! Well penned dear friend and good luck in the contest. Hugs, Jennifer.
