Melinda Cooper Poem
Looking through the memories
I've kept all this time,
Thinking of all the things we did
When you used to be mine.
Everything I could find
That reminded me of you,
I kept very deep in my heart
With memories old, yet ever new.
We used to have a lot of fun,
I hate to see it end.
It's gonna take a lot of time
For my broken heart to mend.
Even though we never expressed
Our feelings for each other,
I can honestly say I love you
Like I have never loved another.
I guess my love, it's time to go.
I've said all that I can say.
Just remember one more thing for me,
I love you more each day.

Melinda Cooper Poem
The summer sun brought a new kind of love into our lives,
And it made us both shine -
something neither one of us had done
In a long time.
We both fell too hard,
Discovering something that was unknown to us.
We found joy, happiness, and even love.
It was so beautiful.
We went through so much together in the short time you were here.
We had fun-lots of fun.
We laughed and cried together,
sharing secrets with one another.
I can honestly say you were the first person I ever fell in love with.
But we just didn't make it.
What went wrong?
Were we too serious?
I loved you so much and we were so happy together,
But it just wasn't enough.
What is enough?
More love? More laughter?
We never had the chance to find out.
You're gone now, I'm sorry to say.
You've begun a new life and
I'm still here picking up the pieces-
Still living for yesterday
When you were here with me -
Loving me and needing me.
So what now?
I still love you very much and
There will always be a special place for you in my heart.
Winter's coming on now and
I must leave the memories behind and
Begin a new life of my own,
And wait for spring -
The dawning of a new love.
I hope we have the chance to meet again
So we can pick up where it ended,
But until then just remember
I love you and please be happy.
God bless the summer sun
And all the love and happiness it brings.

Melinda Cooper Poem
There was a time
In the past
When I thought our love
Would surely last.
I knew I was ready
To settle down.
But you still wanted
To run around.
I waited and waited,
It seemed like forever,
For that special day when
We would be together.
But then something happened,
That day never came.
You've decided to give
Someone else your name.
Now I understand
I wasn't the one,
You would come back to
When you wanted love.
I'm sorry my dear,
This time I can't wait.
I have to move on
Before it's too late.
I hope you have found
Your someone special
That no one else could be.
But if not,
I want you to know
You can always come back to me.

Melinda Cooper Poem
This is the first day
Of the beginning of my life,
This is the start
Of a long, hard strife.
Getting over you will
Surely be hard to do.
But I can't go on like this,
I have to live my life too.
I thought I knew you
Well enough to know,
The longer I stayed,
The more our love would grow.
But now I must leave you,
It's gonna be tough.
But if I stay longer,
I'm gonna get hurt.
I want you to know
I'll always be here,
To lend a shoulder or
To dry your tears.
I want you to be happy
And I hope you will find
Someone who is special,
Warm, loving, and kind.
Now I have to say good-bye,
I have to start out new.
But no matter where I go,
I'll always remember you.
Take Care.
I love you.
Good-bye.
