Forever Lost

"Forever Lost"

I wrapped my body around...through...
and within yours
embracing every moment
of our tender love
Not knowing I'd never again
feel the warmth of your body
next to mine...

I held you close
and gazed into your eyes
reading your thoughts
and imparting mine
Not knowing I'd never again
have the chance to tell you
how much I love you...

You pulled me close
and held me tight
whispered, " I love you"
in my ear
I kissed your lips as we parted
Not knowing this would be
our final, "good-bye"

This poem was brilliant!
Reading it sent shivers through me...
The use of the repeition "Not knowing..." really impacted me, I found myself thinking about those words (among others :) ) long after reading them.
The ending "Not knowing this would be
our final good-bye" is more than just sad, it's emotional and profound, and I could really relate to it.. Thank you for sharing... this poem is amazing :)

This is so sad! I'm from a Navy town so I know a lot of people who could relate to this. It's really great though.

I like the message. It's something we learn as life goes and we lose some people close to us, we never know when the last parting is, and i take nothing for granted. -Tom

This poem can be for so many different people. This can be for military wives who lost their husbands in the war; and not knowing before they left, that kiss, or love making session would be their last together. Being that my husband spent four years in the Navy. I would always pray that that kiss we had before he left wouldn't be my last. This can also go for a couple who is near a break up...
