To William

A message to a lover.

Please tell him I will miss him

When fate bids us apart

For though we love each other

Ours is a hopeless art.

The time with him I spent

Is best of all the  best

A "then" worth looking back

As bird longs for its nest.

This poem will cause him heartache

But dread not the goodbyes

I'm sure we're soulmates somewhere

Where our forever lies...

Author's Note

I challenged myself to write a poem in less than 10 minutes. This is what I've come up with.

P.S. William, I hope you get the chance to read this. :)

Blue, I chose to read this because as you may have guessed my name is William, I am quite fond of the old fashioned rhyme, you did a good job in just ten minutes. I do hope he reads this, it sounds like a love lost, parting is always such sweet sorrow.

If you have read my old poems, you'd notice that I used to be a rhymer, too. I tried free verse just recently and enjoyed it a lot. I miss my rhymes, though. :) anyway, nice meeting you, William! You not only have the same name as he but you look somehow similar as well. ;)

Good looking guy then (ha ha) Take Care.

Ahh this made me sigh, even though it's sad. But the ending has that hopeful tone. Even though sometimes two don't belong together, there's always hope to meet in other circumstances.
Lovely AND in 10 minutes! Wow~!

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I'm hoping for a second chance. Thanks, Wordwarrior! :)

Great ending line! When I read this I tried to put myself in the pictures situation, I try to feel what she could be feeling, think what she could be thinking. Very well written!

[Azure Montessa (Blue)]

I always love endings. Thank you so much M. J. Glad you liked it. :x
