Nothing Had Changed

I wrote this one way back 2012. It is almost forgoten... :D

Nothing Had Changed

It's my first time
To say these words of mine
How I'd miss you
Here on valentines.

Nothing had changed
Nothing had vanished
All of these memories
Are all inside my heart

In every minutes of my life
The sun shines brightly in the sky
It symbolizes yours, not mine
'Cause your presence makes me smile.

I may look like a stranger for you
But still I will put my life on you
And I'll be true and stand beside you
Whatever it takes I'll fight for you.

I may not be the perfect person
That you ever dreamed
But you can count on me
If you are lonely in the streets.

Somehow... someday
As you read the words I say
May your heart be opened
And hear what I'm trying to say.

"Nothing had changed"

What a beautiful poem. I like how you say, nothing had changed, it's a twist on the expression we often hear, saying things have changed as a bad thing, when really the change could have sparks of goodness associated with it, and though we feel that everything may be wrecked it may simply be the act of transformations and built construction we have to go under to become moths and butterflies,

this is beautiful, i love it, an amazingly written piece with so much emotion and meaning, talking about the love for someone and how far you are willing to go to help them even if they don't realise them

Memories are strange things. Sometimes they are triggered by a sight, a smell, a feeling. We can't erase them, they are a part of us. Very well done. :) Rudi

Hey, what a great honest poem John Carlo, it is jam packed full of emotions and I love it. Great work. Thank you: I'm glad after 2 years it is better!

We can all relate to heartache and missing a love. Well written emotional piece.

I could feel the sadness and the loneliness. Hard to understand separation when your heart is still holding on. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

It isn't clear if this is a lost love or unrequited love. There is a hint of a Knight errant and a stalker.
"I may look like a stranger for you
But still I will put my life on you
And I'll be true and stand beside you
Whatever it takes I'll fight for you."
The first two lines give the feeling that the person is (to be harsh: stalking) the last could be the "knight"
Did you mean "for" in the first line? Did you mean "on" in the second.
The last stanza, I think, was meant to be a lament. A poem that leaves the reader with questions is good, however, there must be a clarity to the work that allows the reader to find answers to the questions. My questions revolve around -what did you mean to say as the writer - vs -what is the piece saying to me.

Circumstance was the only thing that had changed John - not how you felt about them - thats abundantly clear in this stoic write, this gentlemans ode to a lover. The honour flows through it as does the love.
