True Love

Has anyone seen

my true love                      

I lost him

about a hundred years ago

between woe and go                 

and I haven’t seen him since                          

Or maybe

I just never knew him        

maybe

he was never real                            

just a figment of my 

imagination               

a dream that has lasted

an endless day    

a haunting melody

that wont go away     

a longing in my soul         

a yearning that

just wont go

amazing job. it reminds me of one of my friends who wants to marry a beatle, haha. i can feel your sorrow in this poem. My favorite part is the first three lines, and then from there it takes a completely different feel. I was expecting something like "we broke up" but its completely different, and thats what i love about it

I love this.
With us women (and men too) Mostly women...
I feel like with every guy we feel like "this is the one" and it shows it can go either way. It can develop from friendship to a real blossomingly relationship. Or you can have this crush and have Daydreams about this person. All in all great job Carolann

Wow, this was truly beautiful and I could feel the sadness from this. If you ever wanted to I think you could make this longer. I liked the question at the beginning. Great work.

Thank you Tasha, and yes your right I probably could though I was thinking short and sweet this time :)

[Tasha]

You're welcome. I like short and sweet even better.
