So Many Memories

Whenever I think about you,

I picture the ocean,

What could have happened,

If you only said yes,

The great times we could have spent together,

I could have changed your life; you could have changed mine,

Life without you will go on,

Sometimes I don’t want it to,

Its life

You have a lovely poem here, Matt. You point out that life goes on despite disappointments, even when we don't want it to continue -- so I am thinking this is why you picture the ocean when you think about the lost love. As an editing note, I would suggest adding a line or two after "I picture the ocean" and tell us why the ocean? Is it the sound of the waves or the endlessness of the water or the saltiness of the breeze? Paint us some wonderful imagery! Good job, Matt.

A sad and beautiful poem. Easy to remember faces and dreams. The good ones are permanent on our memory. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

Sounds like you have been changed.... and I would suspect she was as well just maybe not in a way you would have liked. Awesome way of capturing this moment in the written word thanks for suggesting it for me.

Oh the pondering of 'what if'... but the knowledge of the fact that 'it's life'. I love it.

gets that hit meter gong. Stick with the ocean for a few bars and see where it takes you instead of jumping ship so quick ya dig?
