in all senses

relief that i never told you or remorse that i never held you..i do not know..

a thursday night in 2035
you'd wake up in perspiration
and realise my mouth only ever yearned for you
you'd find the whispers in my letters
to realise my breath only stilled for you
you'd find my gaze in the class photo
to realise my eyes only ever watched you
you'd find poems in an old website
to realise my heart only listened to your woes
you'd relive our conversations
to realise my fingers only ever found yours
you'd look at the lives we lead now
and exhale; with relief or remorse?..

It's always lovely to look back at all the special love moments...all the togetherness we had all theses years, all the giving and taking ...."you'd look at the lives we lead now and exhale with relief or remorse?"
I think relief because I get a very hopeful vibe from this very creative poem!
Warmly, B

It's a beautiful thing to be able to capture the emotions that we feel with unrequited love (is what I got from this poem). The emotions are real even though the person in our lives in not. With writing it out it goes to show yes, it was real, even years later how I felt was real. At least for me it's the same and I won't take it back how I felt with a love that never happened. Thanks for sharing it took me back🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I would be relieved because now it's a memory like a photo in a locket.

Probably with remorse if we all keep going in the direction we are now.
I have an ex who I am sure would feel relief...

I really liked this, that poem to the future love that hopefully is one read together instead of in regret, well done.

I really like the theme of this poem, even though you are looking towards the future you still show that you are thinking about it. This is a very beautiful thing and HOW CAN YOU WRITE SO SUCCESSFULLY? I felt every part of this. Every story you tell is so special, I love how you can make it so personal yet universal. That's something I've never been able to do. PROUD OF YOU.

Hey yall she is one the best!!
