Notes About The Poem

Somewhere Loving Me

Somewhere Loving Me

Today I read the message
the words you couldn't say.
I see it in your eyes
looks like you're going away.

It's in the way you turn your head
or look down at the ground.
I see the writing on the wall
soon you won't be around.

Let me just say before you leave.
Let me say before you go.
There is just this one thing
I'd like for you to know.

The way I've come to love you
the way I've come to care.
I would have stood beside you
and followed you anywhere.

Still I see you're leaving me
or maybe, you're already gone.
With my heart left in pieces
I see you're moving on.

May the sun rise up to greet you
and may all your dreams come true.
Throughout all of your tomorrows
somewhere I'm loving you.

Because love is never easy
and sometimes not meant to be.
I'll stay and pray forever
somewhere you're loving me.

Edwin C Hofert

Mark Roske April 18, 2015 at 11:15 AM Excellent, Edwin~! This feels like song lyrics which I can really drop in to and feel the rhythmic pulse~~~ Quality emotional expression... Very relatable~ TY for sharing~ :-) Edwin Hofert April 18, 2015 at 11:26 AM Thank you so much Mark. If you are so inclined to put it to music please feel free to do so. But I would love to hear it when you're through. I wish I had that ability but I don't. :) Thanks again my friend. Ed

Nandita Das April 18, 2015 at 11:05 AM A certain sadness but deeply touching. Beautiful... Edwin Hofert April 18, 2015 at 11:27 AM Thank you Nandita. It's one of those that I simply had to write. Hugs to you. Ed

Jan Allison April 18, 2015 at 9:34 AM This is breathtakingly beautiful but so sad Edwin - I am sure many can relate to the intense pain when a relationship is over but you still are in love:-) Hugs jan xx 7 xx Jan Allison April 18, 2015 at 9:42 AM When I first started writing 14 months ago I would get up in the wee small hours just to get the lines out of my brain - now I carry a notepad with me all the time in case inspiration hits - so glad you got this onto paper it is truly beautiful you have a wonderful talent Edwin:-) Hugs Jan xx Edwin Hofert April 18, 2015 at 9:39 AM This one has been going over and over in my mind all night. It's only way of releasing me was to write it. There's something so beautiful and frightening at the same time, when love is as it should be. Unconditional. Hugs. Ed
