Managing Life Alone

It’s been a while since I have heard you voice,

That warm comforting voice,

Always uttering helpful words of wisdom,

You always knew so much more about life than i.

Teaching me day by day,

You watched me grow into a woman,

Always supporting me no matter what my choice was,

You were proud of what I was becoming,

Loving me endlessly without question, never judging while you were

waiting for me to mature into the person I am today, thanks to you and

your loving self.

Then you had to move, far away we couldn’t watch each other’s backs anymore,

Good-bye, good-bye

I can’t hide what has become,

Always know; always know I love you so,

I love you so.

You mean so much, so I say good-bye brown eyes, for now,

Take care of yourself,

Always know that I love you so, no matter how far we are apart,

Good-bye, help me sleep tonight,

Always know, always know, I love you so.

I love you so,

I love you so,

Good-bye brown eyes,

Good-bye my love.

Ah!! I just read ur comment below.

It is well done. I do wonder what were your intentions behind naming this "Its Been a While" .

And is this all one stanza? Or is this a formatting error?

You have put great emotions into this, and by repeating lines like "Good-bye... " you are expressing them throughout the poem. A nice technique.

One thing that did bug me was the length of lines (especially at the middle) try to see if it seems better if they are broken down. I am just OCD with symmetry that's all. =D

Good job!

Overall a very well composed piece. I for one think this piece has the best flow out of all of those that you've posted. I think it was assisted by the way it's formatted, it simply drips down the page, slowing to give pause upon the longer lines.

The first part is about a teacher who was a father to me, but he quit, not the one i was in love with.
The second part is about my ex. He moved as well and we didnt think having a long distance relationship would be very good.
Hmmm seems like everyone i love moves away
