In Memory

I like to pretend that I'm back in the past
Back in that year sometime
Between the moments that didn't last
I like to pretend that your here with me
Laying by my side
I wonder if you've forgotten about me
or if you still think about me from time to time
I like to pretend that I don't still love you
But that would be a lie
Because those moments were so precious to me
Even after all these months that have gone by
I hope sometimes you look at me
And get the sudden urge to cry
Not because of seeing me
But because of the beauty we left behind
I glance at you sometimes
And realize forgotten things
Memories I'd believed I'd never lose
But somehow have fallen through
And now these days seem so dreary
Even though I'm so far ahead
But I could never get these feelings out
Just laying in my bed
So I'll leave these hollow hopes
In knowing they'll do me no good
But in my memories you're here with me
And in my heart you've always stood

Tender and love so tragically separated a longing to get it all back the agony and the pain it reminds me of my own dam life.

How tragic.

It brings to mind an elderly man/woman, sitting alone in their quiet home, staring at graying photos of the person they used to be with. And, even though the situation is somewhat different, it reminds me of my mother.

This is a very sad piece, emotional, and well written.

I applaud the formatting as well. It pulls the eyes to the next line, almost like the reader themselves is alone, hearing whispers from those old photos.

Nicely done.

I love , love this poem. It conveys everything I thought about with my first love. I can't go back, but i will always have the memories. I have often wondered if he thinks about me. Great poem.
