Losing You

I thought it would be easier

As time wore on.

I thought I could move on,

And the painful gnawing at my heart

Would finally cease.

I thought I wouldn't have to write poems

Or cry in a room concealed.

I guess your leaving has revealed

The true depths of my affection

Because at the very mention

 Of your name the tears come,

Pouring down my face in showers

Through the many, many hours

Of missing you. 

Your voice, your laugh, your smile,

Being so talented yet humble all the while, 

All so clear and vivid for now, 

But I suppose one day

They will fade away, 

Perhaps the hurt will even go too.

And I realize as I ponder

That I'm terribly afraid.

Afraid that I won't care,

And that's the thing that scares,

More than anything else.

For I would rather care and hurt 

Than to feel nothing at all.

It is the truth, that when someone leaves. Especially the person you love. There
as things that you will remember for what seems like an eternity. You have to
pick yourself up. Dust yourself off and start all over again. Pain is some thing
you feel as you car.
You remember every little thing about them, the good and the bad. Why you
decided to date him or her, is because you have liked this person. He or she caught
your eye. .
you are worthy of love, just think of all the things that make you. you what you
enjoy and what he/she did to tell you. Enjoyed you, too. Believe love can be yours.

So very sad, I know this feeling and it hurts desperately. Your poem weeps on this page and I weep with it.
