             Sweet hello and deadly goodbye

Hello dear Brigitte. I still remember us.

You were my brightness on the a sunny days and

the light of hope in the mist of dark  and wonderful nights.

I left for war and new places, wanted drink and song over kind love.

You were so kind to me and you forgave me for running from you,

but I never forgave myself.

I remember your tears falling and your tears becoming  scars of regret upon

my heart, the memory of perfect beauty crying for wandering man.

You taught me dear Brigitte. The hello are so sweet and the goodbyes

leave us wishing for better endings.

A silent wish is visible, the wish of being together once again...
I really liked this piece of yours because this is one of the truest facts regarding a hello and a good bye...
I can well understand the feelings described here, almost like my poem 'i am gonna miss you'.
Very well written, simple words, good dedication. Mostly i love poems based on simple language and parts of lives. A SIMPLE 'HELLO!' CAN LEAD TO A MILLIONS OF THINGS... Especially, this can be felt when a best friend leaves, and this is really awesome as John understands the value of 'tears', and remembers Brigitte.. In many cases, people even forget their friends...
wonderful dedication... loved it....
one of the best pieces that i have read till now... tanks for sharing...

Thank you Katee. I appreciate the comment.

I really like how gentle this is. It still holds every bit of emotion, but instead of coming off as a harsh, desperate letter, it's more soft and just explanatory. Beautiful and full.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Nicole. I appreciate the comment.

We do all wish for those better endings that in youth we thought ample and plenty, only for time to let them pass and regret fill the lungs of those that long for the breathless, far off days to return. Beautifully written Coyote, with tender and heartfelt warmth.

You have a way of whispering loudly.. reaching out to your past with sincerity and amazing warmth. Love certainly took you to the best.. sometimes, saddest places, John. Your Brigitte.. i wonder if she'd keep this letter hidden away or under her pillow? From your side, there's no hiding your feelings.

(Lovely picture, hints at how she became a precious memory)

I did keep my letters. I have a box filled from the days of letters. Most precious are Dear grandparent and father letters. They are gone and I have their words. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.

[emmajoy]

Have boxes of sameness, John.. or similar. Letters are so precious. Thank YOU.

I love the sentiment, of the life lesson learned. Am I right in understanding toe form of this poem as reminiscent of a letter? If so, that seems so right, just right for the content.

[Coyote Poetry]

Sort of a letter. Thank you dear friend for reading and the comment.
