only I

here we go again with the psychoanalysis I am sure

By the time
you realize
only I
can appreciate
when I
look in
your eyes
just how special
you are
I will be gone
and you
will be divorcing
the woman
of your dreams.

Author's Note

A friend of mine got dumped by someone who was looking for something better. She just found out he is getting a divorce.

Lovely poetry and I must say true poetry

I've no glib words for this one... too much truth, too much hurt. Something went away and both let it go... or something was never there and the settling just finally fell away.

It sometimes take losing someone to recognize how much they mean to you. A sad story, but one old many, many times. This is great, KL. I really like the way you tell a tale in just a few words and still leave a big emotional impact.

Thank you so much. This guy left a pretty big emotional impact on my friend. News of his impending divorce did little to reduce the sting.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

It is very true, we never really now what we have until it is gone or taken, well done, good read.
