A year ago today.

A year ago today,

We had a picnic on the beach,

You told me that you loved me,

Told me that would never change

 

A year ago today,

You kissed me on the hand,

You told me you’d never leave me,

Told me that we’d never change,

 

A year ago today,

We each made a wish,

You told me that I’m yours.

Told me you’d never change.

 

A year ago today,

We made love under the stars,

You told me I was perfect,

Told me I’d never change.

 

A year ago today,

We thought we’d never break up.

We thought we’d never change.

Awww. this is quite depressing... because i can relate. Often times, we do think people wouldn't change.. but truthfully people do... whether it be for the better or for the worse.. it's saddening. This poem moves me because i can feel the hurt... and pain through your words. So heartfelt.

I'm sorry you had to have this kind of anniversary poem! Sad and so true that people do change, not often in the same direction to make relationships last. Good write!

I can really feel the emotions and I like how you have worded this poem. Well done.

[Layla J Omorose]

Simple and sweet yet holds the flow of time and relationships and thoughts that you have that first time you fall in love and think you will be together forever. Very nice poem

[ba_mcfarlane]

Sweet sweet sweet, all that passion put out there, straight and honest and true. It is damn hard to distill a theme down to the basics, less words than more. That's where true talent shows through, for my money. You said it all, in the most skilled manner. You didn't overwrite. You moved me.
This is the best I have seen from you, my opinion only. A great write.

I really liked how at the end of each stanza it was different but still brought it all together. I can really feel the emotion from the piece and how it connects as a whole to form a kind of love/hate poem. I really liked it.

I beleive the term is, "A year ago 'from' today". But it still makes sense :) Good job! I really liked this!!!!
