Ten Years Apart

Ten Years Apart

A Poem by Sarah Buchanan

Ten years apart,

The pull still strong,

Confusion and love,

Make my heart beat strong.


Doubt sets in,

Is this right,

Or is this wrong.

Is this mutual.


A picture of you,

Appears before me.

All the doubt,

Gets washed away.


Waves of emotion

Wash over me.

Some of it pain,

Most of it love.

The rest is fear.


Fear that you’ll push me away,

Fear that this is wrong,

Fear this time will be our last,

Fear of losing you again.


I feel you in my heart,

I feel you in my soul,

The truth of us,

Scares me to my very core.


If only I knew,

You wouldn’t push me away,

If only I knew,

You would not break my heart,

It would push the doubt away.


My soul feels you,

Feels we’re meant to be.

Are we soulmates?

Is that just a dream,

Of wishful thoughts?


My mind gets in the way,

Thinking of what,

Could go wrong.

My guard drops for you.

Leaving me open,

To possible wounds.


Ten years apart,

The pull still strong,

Confusion and love,

Make my heart beat strong.


The love is not doubted,

The heart calls to you,

We shall see where this goes,

I’m hoping it’s true.
