It’s been ages since I’ve seen you

But I can still recall your face

You’re always there, this memory

One thing I never could erase

 

Though the days went on and the years flew by

I can’t say why after all this time

It’s still as strong as it ever was

And you still have a place in the back of my mind

 

Where are you now and how have you been?

You know, I’d love to feel that warm hug again

I’d give all I had if I could see your smile

Just once in real life instead of in my mind

But that time has passed; I know it’s gone

There’s nothing left to do but move on

So if you’re happy now, that’s enough for me

I’ll let it go

 

I know that I shouldn’t be writing these words

I’m fairly sure you don’t care to hear

About the silly thoughts I have

But I just have to make this clear

 

I know I made more than a few mistakes

If I could turn back time I’d set it right

To be close to you again, my friend

Is all I’m wishing for tonight

 

Where are you now and how have you been?

You know, I’d love to feel that warm hug again

I’d give all I had just to see your smile

Just once in real life instead of in my mind

But that time has passed; I know it’s gone

There’s nothing left to do but move on

So if you’re happy now, that’s enough for me

I’ll let it go

Author's Note

It has kind of a weird rhythm to me... I don't know. Title suggestions are welcome. None that I could think of fit quite right...

Even before the repetition of the a stanza, I thought this would make a great song. I still do. :)

Great flow and rhyme scheme- it definitely held the piece together, but it never dominated your words, at all. I really like the tone of this piece, and the earnestness that is so apparent- the honesty. Great write. :)

Those certain faces seem to last in our memories forever. I like the rhyme of this and the way it flowed. As for the title, it will come to you one day when you least expect it. ;)

so sentimental and sincere, this poem speaks as it is written, from the heart.
three thing I love, the sentimental value, honesty, and poet passion,
it's an all around excellent poem :)

This story is sad and full of heartbreak,
but left me optimistic for an ending that
will be good with time.

Many option for a title. "I’d love to feel that warm hug again".
"Where are you now "
"I’ll let it go"
A very strong poem. Those people who leave their fingerprint on our mind and heart. Make us wish for one more conversation and embrace. A outstanding poem. Thank you.
