My Ex Lover

Months have passed
And I still don't understand
How your feelings could go away so fast.

I thought what we had was real.
I thought it could be forever,
Because my heart you did steal.

I still remember the glimmer in your eyes,
Your radiant smile
It was a love we could not hide.


All the PDA,
Oh I didn't know I had fallen
Until you had walked away,

Left me behind to cry.
Left alone to pick up the pieces,
Was it all just a lie?

I guess it's true that you were my first love,
And everything just went so well.
And your hand fit into mine just like a glove.

All I wanted was to steal your heart,
To have a relationship to make people envious,
But instead we had to part.

You were like a beautiful shiny pearl,
And it didn't matter what people said,
Because you were my girl.

Months have passed, 
And I cannot forget the love we shared,
The love that just couldn't last.

A very beautiful written poem, it truly hurts when someone we love with all our heart leaves us, you felt like a betrayel, like in that moment all of your dreams, the bright future you were thinking ahead, everything collapsed and once such thing happens, it s then really difficult to trust someone again

Hi Cassi, a wonderful write. However, a very sad situation, sometimes we make decisions that are hard to let go. Love SKAT
