I still remember you (Love poem #6)

just a low effort love poem

I still remember you
 although our time was brief.

That summer of twenty-twenty-two
 then you snuck away like a thief.

You could see
 only half of me,
the other half I kept concealed.

Broken parts,
 a string of hearts,
  and places that haven’t healed.

I’ve seen you unclothed
 I’ve seen you unloved
  I’ve seen you dancing in the street.

What if I could hold you now?
 What if, what if, somehow;
  What if we never meet?

 

I suppose you have forgotten me,
 that’s probably for the best.
Just a shadow of a memory
 lodged somewhere inside your chest.

Author's Note

Although this poem is obviously a love poem on the surface and one that can be taken as sensual, and even sexual in nature, it also may be taken in metaphor for any relationship where deep feelings are involved. We all stand naked when we bear ourselves in trust to another person. very nicely done.

The human condition I suppose we all have these experiences filed away.
I enjoy your style!

The hidden wounds. Maybe if she had seen your vulnerability, it may have had a different outcome. I doubt she has forgotten you though. I remember my mistakes, most people do:) Happy holidays Ern. Always a pleasure to read you. Nothing low level about what I have read here.

Reeks with flair and flavor; your romance is bubbly and bubbling to the surface with old wounds.
Life goes on; enjoy the merry-go-round.
