Lost Love

I was thinking about someone that has recently left. I miss that person. I guess I didn't know what I had until it gone.

I find myself thinking about you more and more lately.

I miss you so much yet, I know you wont read this.

Why did you have to leave?

Can you see I need you?

I often find my self listening to the songs you made.

I know my feelings were not clear.

I wish I told you how I felt when I had you here.

I wish there was something I could have done to keep you.

Was it something I said?

Was it something I did or didn't do?

To hear your voice lets those feelings out.

I know I should move on but my heart won't.

I must admit at first I thought I was crazy.

As I got to know you I was crazy but for a different reason.

Some things were said.

I guess I wasn't ready for those feelings.

You left me to soon.

Why did you have to leave?

Don't you know I need you?

I feel like this is all my fault.

I wish you could read this.

I wish you could have read my heart before you left.

You would have seen the real me.

You said we were going to be together forever. 

I need you now come to me.
Come on my sweet lover set my heart at ease.
For your loving smile is all I need.

I guess it was just wishful thinking.

 For now your memory will just have to be a fantasy. 

Your voice will be the whisper in the wind.

Our love will be in the past.

Our Journey has come to an end.

Not bad, and you've definitely gotten across the sort of emotion you were going for, but I do question your tone in this. It seems a little too matter-of-fact and longing, and I would have liked to have seen this handled in a more conversational manner, as I think there's a great deal more you can do with that, in addition to the fact that it would be a little fresher. Either way, well done.

This is so beautiful, it hurts when love leaves, especially when you become so familiar with that person, you see them, and talk to them all the time than suddenly they are gone. I love the line " For now your memory will just have to be a fantasy", I like it because that's how it feels. There is so much emotion in this piece. I really enjoyed it. Great work here.

Always sad to lose someone. Their memories stay with us for a long time. I like the emotion and story in the poem. Love can be hard. Separation for any kind of reason break our heart. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
