Time To Say Goodbye

There was a time 

When all was well

When I could have sworn 

My heart had fell

But going back, to those times

Is nothing but pain

Now I realise

I thought i was loved

And I believe him to be true

but this time is different

This time, I'm with you

Or is it the same?

Same ending as the last

Will I lay broken?

Like a scene from my past

But truth is, We don't know

Until we take that chance

To let ourselves be loved

And entwined in romance

Like butterflies when they hatch

Dispersed into the sky

Are me and you a match?

Or is it time to say goodbye?

It's nice to see a poem that reflects the reality of finding a new love.The uncertainty, and hope that the leap of faith taken was not in vain. Fighting the memories from one's past that plant seeds of doubt in the mind. It's easy to put on rose-tinted glasses at the start of a new relationship, but this piece reflects the fear of the unknown and the hope that fuels us to search for a meaningful, lasting relationship.

That is life!
We make friends > move home/jobs/ both
We make new friends/loves The old ones are placed in memory
A few may be contacted again

True > That's Life - as they say
Then one day when you don't expect you find a friend who sticks by you - Off you go to meet the world together - Let others join us and flutter away know you will be constant by me

My favorite line! The unknown is scary and this shows hope and fear so lovely.

This is one of the most uplifting & realistic messages I've read about any kind of heartbreak theme. So many times such messages sound too whiny or too much like a pep talk, for my liking. But in this case, you touch on the painful parts with plenty of authentic questioning, while also giving ample time to turn to a more positive direction to finish your message. There will always be painful chapters but we can't let them define us. You've delivered this by showing instead of telling (first rule of good writing) . . . Fondly, Margie

aw thank you! I'm really glad you liked it. I agree, the whiny poetry isn't my cup of tea either, i wanted to try write something a bit different. :)

The unsettling feeling of uncertainty can be a pain in the you know what, and I think we all have been there. I
