The Aftermath

I miss the way you’d call me

 Every day at six

I could count on hearing from you

To get my daily fix

 

The way we talked and laughed

Making jokes about your hair

Even fighting like husband and wife

WE were always there

 

I miss the way you’d look at me

From the other side of the room

Knowing only what we could know

Being your office groom

 

The tender little touches

On your hand before I’d go

To see your smiling face

That would always let me know

 

You felt the way I felt

The energy was the same

Sometimes overwhelming

Sometimes hard to tame

 

I miss the way you walked

Smiling down the hall

Like a queen inside her palace

Gazed upon by all

 

I miss the conversations

About writing out our lives

The next time we’d see each other

Feeling the butterflies

 

I guess this should be expected

Tough choices have been made

In the hopes that over time

Our feelings will somehow fade

You know, I am going through something myself, and reading the ending of your poem scared the hell out of me. Heh.

Very lovely poem and would look great as a nice handwritten letter to whoever.

Good job, Shon.

[Shon Harvis]

it scares me too Afraa. I want the feelings to grow and for her and I to somehow be. She is my "Notebook".

Nice twist at the end. Why the change in heart?

[Shon Harvis]

the twist is her confusion. We both want the same thing but she had to make a choice that was difficult for the both of us.

Your poems make it seem as if you've truly experienced heartbreak and now you're making me feel it with you. I think your poems are straightforward but definitely not boring and we can easily relate. Good job :)

[Shon Harvis]

unfortunately I have. Thank you for your kind words.
