FORGET ABOUT LOVES PAST

Sometimes remembering loves past can makes love present a memory too read on my friends and learn ....

I didn't know she loved me,
Though she said it many ways.
So now I sit here thinking,
My mind now in a daze.

She said not to call her,
Not speak to her again.
Think I really hurt her.
What a fool I've really been.

Nothing I can do now,
I'll have to let her go.
Should have paid more attention,
When shot by cupids bow.

I tried to be so cavalier
For I'd been hurt before.
One should pay more attention,
If love comes knocking at your door.

She will find another,
For a beauty that she be.
Now I know its too late
To say how much she means to me.

So I will miss her smile,
Her hugs and kiss's too.
Wish I could change things
That I'd really like to do.

She had given me her love,
Like no ones done before.
But like a stupid jester,
I let it slip it right out the door

Hope that I have learned
Now a lesson that will last.
When someone gives her love,
Better forget about loves past.

Excellent lesson and one we never learn! Love could be staring us in the face and we will hang on to other things and let it pass us by. Once gone, we yell, "wait!" Only by then, it's too late. Second chances are rare...so don't tempt fate!

A great lesson is learned through this poem. Thank you for sharing it. Phenomenal poem

The past is difficult to forget but if the present has a love we can share then it makes the past melt away.

Awh, Its sad. But sometimes things just can't be no matter if mistakes linger in your heart, weather it be yours or the others. Sometimes love is just to painful and to hard but you make it though in the end, hearts will heal and love will come around. Or thats what I like to think :)

Nice work, Don. This longing here is palpable.

Makes sense and resonates. Sixth stanza "kisses?". In addition, I would suggest in the same stanza "it's too late for that, sigh...". Otherwise, it is great and i bow down to you.
