Wishing

Wishing for something that is no more!!

I sat in the sun, wishing that I had the warmth of your arms wrapped around me.

 

I sat in the pouring rain, wishing for the time we were in the steamy shower together.

 

I sat staring at your picture, wishing I had you  here in the flesh.

 

I sat in our favorite restaurant, wishing we were on the dance floor together.

 

I sat listening to our song, wishing for old times .

 

I sat listening to your voice on the answering machine, wishing  that I had you to talk to.

 

I sat watching you with her, wishing it was me.

 

I sat watching you kiss her, wishing you were kissing me.

 

I sat in front of your house watching you and your new family, wishing..............

I like it :) Can't wait to read more of your writing.

The feelings are understandable at first, but at some point we must move on...the last two lines crossed the line between normal feelings of loss and obsession. Please note the error in the second to last sentence, should be "wishing you were kissing me".

The image of someone listening to an old message on an answering machine is pretty powerful-- like listening to someones ghost or the ghost of a relationship. This poem kinda reminds me of the Sting song "Every breath you take"-- especially the final three lines. All around enjoyable read!

[Misty Blue Eyes]

[youngwriter222]

I enjoyed this very much. It is a really sad poem because she nmisses him and would do anything to get his love back.
Great Write!

I have always been the type of person who once a relationship ended, I never looked backed. All my friends will tell you this but inside I felt just like this poem in some levels, I just didn't show it. It is hard when one moves on and finds happiness and the other is still in love with them, wishing things were different. However the character in this one is a little obsessive!! :) and that makes the poem that much for the better.

That was tragic. A really really sad poem. It made me emotional while reading.

One of my favorites.
