Goodnight

Everyone always says I'm crazy

Telling me words I don't understand anymore

But, none of that matters

Not when I see your face

 

Not when I hear your voice

Whispering, making it all ok

Making it all worth it

 

Sleeping with my eyes open with you next to me

Singing me a lullaby with just your breath

Feeling my face in your hands

And your lips resting on mine

 

Everyone always says I'm crazy

Telling me words that I don't understand anymore

But, none of that matters

Not when I see your face

 

Not when I hear your voice

Whispering, making it all ok

Making it all worth it

 

Sleeping with my eyes inside of yours

Calming my heart, resting against your chest

Feeling your hands on my face

And my lips smiling on yours

 

Everyone always says I'm crazy

Trapped in a place that won't ever come back

Telling me words that I just don't understand anymore

Words I don't think I can even hear

But, none of that matters

Not when I see your face

 

Not when I hear your voice

Whispering, making it all ok

Making it all worth it

For a contest. Had to write about an unforgettable memory. This is a memory of someone I knew a long time ago.

What a beautiful song you've written. Hey people say I'm crazy too, do what I do, don't listen to them, even if they're right :)

Good stuff here Aria!

From reading this poem, perhaps you sometimes regret that this "unforgettable" memory is so long in the past? Either way, it is gentle and sincere. It is very clear from the wording, that you have a very high regard for this person. Presumably, it was a former lover.

At least, there were tender moments with this person. In contrast, so many relationships end with the bitterness of tears, anger or jealousy.....

Could be a song? I liked it and you used every line just right.
So did you win the contest?

This is really pretty. I love the repetition. It seems to solidify every thought and moment. Good job.

This is a wonderful poem. And isn't it nice that we can look back on the memories from the past. Well done.
