Depart

In you did I believe

and I held your hand

Because if you didn't know

you helped me stand.

But from where I stand

I'm sorry to say

I come from people who won't let me lay

right beside your world

Where I feel more free

And I don't have people nagging me.

They don't believe in you completely

No matter what I say

So I've decided to shut it

and let them go astray.

Because I love you so now

it took me a while

to accept

This is a long lasting bond

not some overruled bet

Lately I've been thinking

of your overated self

and I find it just charming

to admire you as yourself.

Forgive me, I know

I never did enough

Nor did I tell you

my self proclaimed stuff.

I think I was afraid

to give myself a chance

at your friendship you presented

with your own loving hands.

Perhaps its not right

but I can't help but think

how it would feel

if I could simply sink

into your skin and soul

that you hold so dear

so we may not have this distance

and stay forever near.

So miles and miles

could not stand

between our two lives

we've hand crafted so grand

Your nearness drives my nerves on end

Because I can not be any nearer

only farther again.

So I depart with these words

that you may never forget

our affair was a treasure

lest you never regret.

[Kaa Na Kalyanasundaram]

simple and good writing. while writing poem, the poetic words are necessary. definitely it will be a stone carved statues. don't worry about the grammer dear.

[Cassiopia Summers]

I noticed one spelling mistake, and that was "drivs" it should be drives. It's in this line here,
"Your nearness drivs my nerves on end"
Wonderful poetry, you are a true poet.

[Vicky Zhuang Yi-Yin]

Aw. Very much relate-able for a lot of people. Simple and excellent. i don't care about the grammar mistakes and stuff because of the sincerity of this poem. Good job!
