Where Are You

Where are you my love? I've searched high and low, I've looked for you everywhere. I've even looked in my dreams. When we first met we were kids.I couldn't stand you at first. You were the annoying little neighbor,You were my best friend.We did everything together.In hindsight I always Ioved you even at a young age. Before I knew what love was. We went through the stage when you called me a funny looking girl, and I called you everything related to a mean and nasty ole boy! We were falling in love then we just didn't know it. By the time we got to middle school we were already dating. Our lives changed in eighth grade.Your dad was in the army and you had to move to another country. Although we were young I knew you were the one for me. I wass heartbroken. You told me to wait for you. And you would come and find me when you could. Baby I've waited for you my entire life. You never came, And I'm still waiting………... Alexis Y. 9-20-19

Such yearning beauty of sadness, Alexis. Many of us have felt this profound separation of loneliness from a soulmate. Excellent poem, my dear friend. Many smiles and smiles of loving hugs always.

omg, so sad. Is it true?? I have a slightly similar story but I did not know my "romeo" for very long when he left. I really enjoyed seeing this one, Alexis.

Aw, my friend, this is so sad but you know what they say, the best things are worth waiting for. You will find yours. Really nicely done Alexis. This was a tear jerker

Hi Alexis, my first love was at sixteen - he was going back to Scotland with his parents (also sixteen) but wanted to marry me and take me with him -I was heartbroken after both sets of parents explained we were both far too young - and so he left! I love this poem and it is certainly a fave! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
