1:56

One day when I figure everything out, I will still not know exactly why things between us did not work. One day I will forget you, but you're name will forever be engraved into my heart. One day, when I am at my happiest, I will come across a blurred image of you in my mind. One day at 1:56 am I will be wide awake with nothing to do, and I will let my thoughts drift towards you. When each of these days come by, I will start to wonder how I got this way. You see, this sadness I am so hopelessly trying to get you to understand will always be with me; like a shadow. I don't think you understand that it's been two years, a whole 17531 hours, and I have not let this deep pain escape my body. It is now 1:57 am and I have not gotten rid of you from the little, dusty corners of my mind because I haven't excepted the fact that you belong there.

I felt very sorry for you. Hope you'r over this now.
Very nice poem which most people will be able to relate to.

As I read your words they take me to a person I once knew. She is but a memory now, and there was much pain when I knew her, but now there are only polished sweet sands where that pain once stood. With the passing of time, the sands have away, and she stands a lone a monument of beauty. The statue of her likeness is not a replica, but rather reconstruction of my mind.
