Never meant to be

Some things are just not meant to be ... we never forget .. we learn to live with it.

ღ Never meant to be ღ 

You are the reflection of my past
A story that was never meant to last 

Just the one I needed to have for life 
You're the road I so much needed to feel alive

You're the sweet memory that warms my heart
You're the kindness in my life although far apart

You'll never be mine .. although you once were 
I'll never be with you .. but it's only fair 

It's enough to know your life knows happiness 
Even if my life is made of such emptiness ..

I wish you the best with your lovely wife
Your choice made to last for life

I wish you happiness in the eyes of your children now and yet to be
And if you by any chance happen to think of me 

You should know that somewhere within me
There will always be a special place for you to be

[Violet's Run]

I know this feeling exactly. Bittersweet, and then agony. You want to be glad for him that he has found a wife and family .. you want him to be happy.. (maybe you tell your self that is what you want BUT) and you realize you are still alone and hurting.... ugh.. I love this poem.. it dredges up all those feelings and more... awesome job I really like the images with it also.

to be a flower in the garland she holds
would be to know peace not so far from home.

It is very romantic and lovely. A heartfelt on but creative. Love this.

I do understand this poem. Sometime knowing someone you loved is content. Leave us with a strange feeling of happiness. I like the story and the positive ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Nice poem, it sort of reminded me of Titanic. "My heart will go on..." So heart-felt, powerful writing.

A sad but gentle write full of love, caring and acceptance of fate. The road of sweet memories start when the two journey together on to their destination. I hope your heart's desires are fulfilled...Bravo

[Mira ThePoetess]

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome muchly...:)................

[Skylar Valentine]

I enjoyed the maturity in this piece. It expresses both the loss, and persistent emotion of a ended relationship. As well as the resigned acceptance. It is gentle and caring in a way most people can not show. I did feel the rhyming was a tad be forced in certain parts. The second stanza especially seemed awkwardly worded. Overall well done. Enjoyed the read

[Mira ThePoetess]

Thank you .... maybe the reason you felt that is because i originally had written this poem in French and translating it was a bit hard to keep the meaning and the rhyming .... Thanks for your honest review
