To The Person I’ll Never Forget

A free verse arranged in a letter format about a love that got away and regrets.

 

To the person I’ll never forget,

 

Can you still remember that Christmas night we made a vow to be always there for each other?

As for me, everything is still crystal clear.

I can still remember how your warm words echoed through my ears and immediately gave warmth to that chilly evening.

Everything in me filled with joy.

My heart found its beat after a very long time of being like an empty chunk of cold metal.

My eyes started to see the colors that's been once shrouded with veils of fear and mortal hatred.

 

Yes. you changed me. More than you can ever imagine.

You are the stars that completed this wide dark night sky.

Giving directions to my lost soul deprived of any ray of light.

I've been blind for so long. I've been lost for so long... but that Christmas night changed everything.

 

But that Christmas night is nothing but a night of dreams now.

 

Your words barely touch my ears now.

That warmth they provide is not mine anymore.

That promise of forever still clings in your heart...but that same promise is not made with me anymore.

No more pinky swears. No more late night talks. No more smiles for me. There's none for me now. None at all.

 

I know you will not be able to read this. I made it that way because until now I'm still a coward, a coward who can't face the overflowing feelings protesting to be let out.

I'm still a coward.

A coward who didn't even bother to hold you when you'd cry because of my arrogance.

A coward who didn’t' even hold your hand when you said you want to be with me forever.

A coward who didn't even find the words to make you stay that night you decided to leave.

A coward. That’s all I am… but for once, let me write this down.

 

I loved you and I still do. Believe me.

But my love will just hurt you like a poison slowly flowing throughout your body destroying your every chance of living.

My kisses will only let out an indistinguishable flame that will consume you and rob you of your true self.

My hug will only encage you and your dreams, draining you of your will to live.

 

I'm sorry my love for you cost you a lot.

I'm sorry your love for me was never returned.

I'm sorry our love is not like the fairytales after all.

 

You don't deserve me. You're the most wonderful person I've met and you don't deserve a coward, senseless pathetic jerk like me.

I hope that person will give you happiness. The happiness I can never give you.

I hope that person can keep the promise of forever. The promise I can never fulfill.

 

To you, the person that I can never forget,

Please…

 

Forget Me.

[hi]

ok i dont know if you watch anime or not but this sounds more like a line from a broken heart character form a show, you must havebeen threw it to be able to write like this, it was like your heart wrote it, but dont get mad when i say this andthis is just me, but to me a poem should always rime i know most people dont agree but to me it must at some point anyway,

[Stella Sky]

Yeah. You're right. I watch anime. So maybe it affected how I express things as well as my writings. But this is really from my heart. Haha yes. Honestly I don't know really if it can be called a poem but I just want to share it here and the closest thing it can get is be a poem.

As far as I know there are poems that don't rhyme tho. But I'll keep what you said in mind in the future.

Thank you very much for your review. And im really grateful you read my work. Thank you. This means a lot to me. :)

[hi]

justasking but semse yousaid you watch anime have you ever seen one called golden time because this is what i could see the koko the main female character saying at the 2ed last episode

[Stella Sky]

No. I haven't seen that one. Oh really? Cool. Then maybe I should watch it sometime.
Everything I wrote in this poem is based on real life. My life. :)

Hey, do u know how much sentimental this piece is..it's amazing, beautifully described, there may be any grammar mistakes but listen, there are 2 ways of reading a poem. First, through words, second through emotions. I followed the second one here so couldn't observe the first....
Your emotions flow through out the poem in a delicate and refreshing way. You have put comparisons at the end which sounds great. The whole piece is just awesome... thanks for sharing...
Package of smiles : ) ( :
