I Never Noticed

took anyone for granted?

 

 

I never noticed how the light shines from your eyes 
till you were gone

I never noticed how your laughter made me happy 
till you were gone

I never noticed how the curve of your mouth sent my heart racing 
till you were gone

I never noticed how your kisses left me shaking 
till you were gone

I never noticed how my breath caught when you speak
till you were gone

I never noticed how much I love you 
now that you're gone

 

Author's Note

many ' i never noticeds' but sometimes we don't seem to notice till it was too late .. taking people for granted.. not good...be they friends, lovers, moms, dads, sisters or brothers.. you never know ...

But after 32 years of married you forget, you take it for granted they will always be there, then puff they're gone. You would give anything for one minute with them, to hear their voice, see their eyes shine and for one more kiss.

A very well written poem and an excellent message. Beautifully penned. Great job.

[Sweet & Tender Hooligan]

A very powerful poem on the feeling being taken for granted. Some people never seem to notice what they got till its gone. The repetition works well in getting those feelings across within the poem.

People vanish with a click.. now days

taste of your heart.. sweet words sprinkled with salty tears

moved again..

great write Chloe. you touched me with this one. I try to make every minute count, but we are human and let things slip away.
