Forgive me..

A old poem with a proper re-written. Written in 1978.

Forgive me…

Please forgive me for what I did to you, we did to each other.

I’m sorry I escape your life and hid from your memory.

I was young,
learning to love.

Finding the many mistakes young lover’s can make.

I left you alone and swimming in tears and loneliness.

I hope all your thoughts of me are not filled with disappointment.

But filled with fond memories of two lovers learning
to touch and  to love.

Even through our ending ended in silence and sadness.
We allowed the world to separate us.

You are still a beautiful face and tender memories I can’t forget.

I hope I didn’t destroy your desire to love and feel.

I hope your new beginning are filled with happiness and joy.

I hope you didn’t throw away all the love we held and gathers.

You came and said goodbye to me.
I was leaving Germany and
we held each other for the last time.

I whispered.
Thank you sweet lady for sharing love with a foolish man.

So heart-gripping dear Coyote, honest and true, and not so many will admit it the way You did... each sentence you've written filled with wisdom, care and generosity, the hard task is not to heal the broken heart, the heart task is to heal it and still make it intact so it can open to love again in a healthy way.

When we are young. We don't know. We will know love so rarely. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I do appreciate.

Words full of tender feelings. A young love that will ebb and flow through life! As you know, I'm not really into poetry but prose, well written, can be delightful ; As is in this case! Well done my man! Another successful effort.

Yhank you for your good wishes. Yes, I'm fine and tempted to write more of the same. The trouble is, I'm not sure it's being read!

If only we could turn back life like a streaming video. One day we will teach each other to love before we hurt each other so much.

Superb write.

[Betty Hermelee]

I think people should be able to forgive. And this is a plea to a lost lover for her to remember you as a loving, kind person, and she should remember all the good things you shared together. Well written piece.
Best, Betty

I agree dear Betty. Me and Daniella stayed friends for many years. Forgiveness is needed. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Always a pleasure!

A very sincere expression of regret in the circumstance... making me empathize with my own past transgressions

just words edged from memories that can't be undone but time will grow softer with every scrap and fall but being far apart can never fill the gap deep inside your heart. thank for sharing my brother.

dear John... your poem is very delicately written.
We were created to explore the feelings and beauty of Love.
It is a lifetime gift to be shared. tenderly, Pat

Thank you dear Pat for reading and the comment. A very old poem and I appreciate the comment. I agree. Even the hard days of love become softer with time.
