The Day My Heart Floated Away

Years and tears High and lows Courting, smooching Our loving grows We meet after work Go for drinks Meet our friends Our hearts in sync Holidays we take Our excitement grows Parents to be Our first one shows Parents we are Over the moon Three more times In your mother cocoon Their now teenagers and older Where we are the same Two individual pictures But not in the same frame Our day to day ripples Like stones thrown in a pond Are the distant memories When we used to respond To look back on our yesterdays As if it was today For now it seems The day my heart floated away http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-3.php

I like this! This is a very beautiful story in just a few words. It was very descriptive and a complete love story.

This poem brought tears to my eyes... thankxxx for sharing it ... when I wrote Expressions of Love I was so crazy in love then... it represented one man... today it means the same for me.. I am now totally in love with another man... don't know if we will make it but we all must try to experience the romance your poem describes.. unfortunately ... true love always come with a price ... but we are so much better for this experience.

Sad and filled with heartfelt angst from love the "floats" away. Hang in there, Highlander, better days lay before you! This is beautifully written! Love you, Carolyn
