You and Me

one of my earlier poems. written when i was 16

I'm so confused, I don't know what to say,
Though we aren't together, I think of you every day.
I know I shouldn't, I know it's wrong,
But it still kills me when I hear our song.
After the way you hurt me, I should be through,
But with every passing day my mind turns to you.
It's been a while now, since that fateful night,
I caught you with her, and then there was the fight.
You said, just friends, I didn't believe.
You liar, I said, You lied and you deceived.
So I broke up with you, that summer evening so warm,
And I went home, heart broken, mind in a swarm.
I said I was done, I'll never love again.
But if I did that, then you would win.
Then three weeks later, I'm with someone new.
So I thought, with him, I'm surely over you.
Then we broke up, ended it as friends,
And my "over you" story, twists, and it bends.
The feelings are back, they just won't go away.
And now we talk, what can I say?
Am I happy as friends, is it really true,
Or inside is there still that longing for you?
Yes, it's there, but I won't go back,
I know that I can't, I know that's a fact.
It would never be the same, not like it once was,
And what would friends say, there would be a fuss.
So I hold it inside, but yet I don't cry,
And deep in my heart, I know I Know why.
We aren't together, it wasn't meant to be.
Never again will it be you and me.

This is a great poem because it reveals the confusion and heartache of loosing someone special to you. This poem has a unique wisdom about it and I love how the closure seemed evident at the end of the piece, truly an I am moving on statement and a Wonderful write!
