Past Love

Losing someone hurts. I personally don't know what it's like to lose someone you love (as in "in love.."), but I tried writing something different.

Every morning I get up, you appear at my house with an anxious smile

We walk out the door, holding hands and releasing the words we've waited to speak for hours

Nearing exhaustion from the songs we sang to each other, I'd embrace you like a bouquet of flowers picked right out of our secret garden

Breathing in the scent of ocean breeze candles and the heavy smell of your dog,

I laugh

Your hand approached my chin and guided my face to your eyes

My head spun from your intoxicating features

...it was overwhelming

 

To the park we wandered and found ourselves laying lazily on the tall grass

I felt your hand caressing my cheek, the soft touch of those fingers grazing over my eyelids and temples

I lifted my hand up to yours and held on for dear life 

The wind picked up and my hair went wild, flying away from my face

I opened my eyes finding your emerald ones looking back at me

Your lips, oh the ones I longed to touch, curved up into a grin

Intertwining our hearts together, you glided your palm to my neck

 

"Beautiful" escaped your mouth and I brought my face closer to you

A liquid drop descends from my eye and your thumb gently brushes over the wetness on my jawline

Kneeling by your headstone I remember so many times spent with you

It's unfair that you're gone now, but I never stopped loving you

So many years have passed and I can't handle the pain any longer

I'll never forget your face before you left me that night

My memory of you will never fade

 

Adieu...

This is a great poem! I love the line -
I'd embrace you like a bouquet of flowers picked right out of our secret garden
-The poem captures the the sweetness of first love and first loss...This is a great poem...I can even see the begining of a story there with the images you created. Great job!!! ...And i agree with Larryb about the grammar...I hate it when people with no creative thoughts in their heads only see the word errors and not the meaning of the words. Damn stupid grammar people with no mind for the arts...I never comment on spelling only becasue wont we all have editors for that garbage when we make it...?
