Goodbye my lover...

I found a old poem written in 1998.

Goodbye my lover...

 I walked to my lover with the liar's moon above. It was a warm German Fall night. I walked 20 miles to get to her. I went to say goodbye.

I wanted to find out where I was going. I was going to make a decision. Stay or go? I was torn between her and another. A emotional turn of fate that would leave someone with many tears.

She was dressed in baby-doll pajamas and she wanted the first touch of "Always". She wrapped her body around me and I stopped her. I told her the truth written upon my heart and my words were not to destroy her. We decided nothing and I held her for the last time.

Every step walking away from her, my heart started to die. I cried to the morning sun and I knew. I tossed our love away on a September morning. I felt her tears upon her pillow. I knew, I broke a angel heart.

She crossed the sea to escape my memory and I learn too late. I should of begged for forgiveness and ran to her. Never releasing her from my life.

Now I am far away from the September day and I wondered if I stayed with her. Would my journey of foolishness would of been less.

Youth is a dance of poor decisions. A education of what we didn't do. What we left behind and what we cannot forget.

"Beautiful Sheena, I remember you.

My Scottish beauty, you still dance in my dreams.

I am sorry, I didn't know.

Love is rare and so sweet.

You were the love of my life and I remember you.

"Youth is a dance of poor decisions. A education of what we didn't do. What we left behind and what we cannot forget." A great wisdom of truth spoken from a hard life lived. Words I find very relatable my friend. I often wish I could go back in time to talk to my younger self. If I could I would share exactly these wise words that touch me. Thank you CP., for the wisdom you always share with us my friend.

We all make mistakes in our lives and when it comes to a love decision, it is heart-breaking….we all know the feeling of doing something that we will regret…. Love is just that way…it pulls and tugs at us and drives us mad… but we still have the memories, oh those Sweet memories of embrace.
Lovely…..best
