The Lost Love

Can you remember the moments we shared?

I was travailing in the dark,
I had no  money in my pocket.

Never sure of what to do,
I met you and
Found myself in you.
You burning deep in my heart,
It felt so right.

Holding me, face to face,
Touching me, cheek to cheek.
We were close,
We were two of a kind.

We both searched for the perfect world,
We knew we would never find.

Whenever you were down,
You could talk to me.
I was always there.

It was past midnight,
You were fast asleep.
The dreams staying with you,
Showing a hidden smile on your face.

I hope I never take that smile from you!

If I had to live without you,
I'd be so lonely.

My heart is crying out for you,
Nothing will change my Love for you.

Tell me you'll Love me forever,
You said no.

Where is the Love you said was mine?
I need to know!

Don't you want somebody?

Don't you need somebody?

You can say good-bye,
But I will never go.

Now the miles are between us,
You don't need to worry.

A broken heart will mend,
If given the time.

I'll see you one day!

To long ago,
To long apart.

I must see you!

I need you!

I still Love you!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

endearing verse..yet I must warn you...being so needy is not necessarily actractive..it can be very frightening and daunting to the other person. Light & Love & many HUGS

It is so hard to be away from one you connect deeply with. The pain is difficult to bear. You express well here the emotional rollercoaster of loving and losing. Great writing, sad but beautiful. Smiles from Lolita
