Wishes...

A Poem by Jeremy V Chiew

A man who realises happiness wasn't meant for him.

Snow pats me on the back.
As I made my way,
Along the worn track,
I thought of words to say.

When I got there,
I looked for you,
But you were nowhere,
On that snowy avenue.

It was cold and I didn't feel too well.
Passing an old bistro, I looked in.
You seemed happy in there, I could tell.
Because I saw that you were laughing with him.

So I turned to walk away.
The snow turned into rain.
I'll be waiting for the day,
The end of this pain.

To him I shall say,
Take good care of her,
Cherish her in every way,
Never remind her of how we were.

For she loves you,
I know.
Whenever she's around you,
Her eyes start to glow.

I'll wish for her,
Happiness.
For his love to never veer,
And eternal bliss.

So, I bid you farewell,
Dear friend of mine.
In our memories I shall,
Remember you, my valentine.

Rain pats me on the back.
As I made my way,
Along the worn track,
I thought of her today.

A semi-poignant write, but told a story beautifully of a man reminiscing in a love that wasn't his to keep so he let's the bird fly out of his cage and be free. That whole aspect of letting go is captured marvelously and I love the flow and word choices used.

I appreciate your time, thanks for the review.

I like the calm feeling of this piece. Acceptance of an individual's newly found happiness with someone else can hurt and I can relate to this.
Good Job!

I am also very new to this site and would greatly appreciate if anyone could take the time and review my first and only writing piece, thank you so much..
