A Lost Love

A Poem by Jennifer Lane

I am tired of trying to hide my love for you,
My life doesn’t mean as much without you.
I’ve been lonely for way to long,
I am not that strong on my own.
I have been trying to stay away and give you the space you need,
I’ve been wanting to get in touch with you.
Because life is too short and no one knows how long we’re going to be here,
I hurt real bad because you’re not around.
How can I say what I want to say without pushing you away further,
Don’t you know how bad it hurts me when I can’t hold, touch or kiss you when I need someone.
I don’t even know if it matters to you,
How can I make you see what really matters to me.
I just wish you could ask how I’m doing,
Or just show the love that I believe is still there.
If only there was a moment you thought we might still have a chance,
So we could rebuild on the love we had and hold onto it forever.
Because deep down I truly believe we can,
I hope that the wall that is between us can be torn down.
I know that you feel that there is so much for you to lose,
But if it works;there’s so much that we can both gain.
Can we just try and find our way back to each other,
Please don’t just through it all away.
