The Day You Left

"just an imagination"

I still remember that first 'hey!'
The one,
That came from you
Smiling my way

I still remember those days,
Days, that kept us
Together each day.

I still remember those giggles,
Those laughters,
Those talks,
And those grins
That made our days.

Days, months,
And years came,
and went our way.

Oh, how beautiful,
Oh, how blissful,
Oh, how bright
were those days!

I smiled,
Smiled ,like I never smiled
Before those days.
You giggled,
Giggled, like you've never known
Sadness anyway.

Days turned longer,
Longer enough to end
Nights lasted
As if it couldn't wait
To bring days
To an end.

You said,
You wouldn't leave,
No matter
What came in our way.
I smiled with a nod
Wishing the same those days.

But you,
You, were the first,
First to leave that day.
Unbothered to explain,
Unbothered to know
What could even happen
After that day.

I still forgive you
For your departure,
Like I often did,
When you teased me
those days.

But this one's real,
Real in many ways
I'll still wait for you
Will wait for you,
Now and always..

But what hurts for now,
Isn't why you left,
But why'd you
Give a reason,
That was unacceptable
And is unacceptable even today?

The day you left,
Was the day I wept,
Wept, sobbed incessantly
as a kid
Deeply hurt & left astray

You may be back,
Back, someday
That day may come,
Or maybe it doesn't anyway.

But the day you left,
Still hurts so bad,
Hurts bad,
Like a frightening ghost,
That won't ever
stay off my way.

Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time

Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do

Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away

I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces

And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know

The day you went away
The day you went away

Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could I carry on
The day you went away
Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away

The day you went away
The day you went away

when i read your poem i got the same emotion when i listen to this song

[Saumya]

Wow! This is exactly similar in meaning of my poem, Abraham!😊
I applaud you for posting this here,

Is this a lyrics if any song, or your own crafted piece btw?
I really like this one *smiles*

[Abraham George]

Its one of my fav song- sharing the link for you

[Saumya]

Thanx again for sharing the link, I heard the song just now, and that's indeed a very meaningful and relatable one, Abraham :)

I'll see if I can add it somewhere on this page *smile*

[Abraham George]

i am glad to know that you liked that song.

[L.C. Jarrette]

lol. I really thought this was real...for me, this was very evocative...

[Saumya]

Lol..Thankyou :)
I'm glad you found it evocative.

[Paul Bell]

This seems to happen a lot. I can only assume, people grow and move on. The bond you thought so strong, wasn't. At some point you'll do it yourself. That's my thoughts anyway. I maybe wrong.

[Saumya]

I could complete relate with your thoughts &agree with you Pull :) life always has been for moving on,forgiving but not forgetting...And getting the best of what we deserve, later & maybe that's why nothing lasts forever, 'nothing' .

Thankyou for sharing your thoughts, I much appreciate it ;)

[Priyanshi]

Very well expressed your feelings...
and I really loved it.

[Saumya]

Thankyou Priyanshi :)

[Priyanshi]

My pleasure

[Leslie Philibert]

A fine poem that convinces with honesty and emotion

[Saumya]

Thankyou Leslie :)

[Morgan Storms]

For this not being a personal incident it is done very well and if you did not reveal that in the Author's note, I would have felt that it was. Very well done and very clear and easy to understand and feel.

[Saumya]

Thankyou so much Morgan, I'm very glad you enjoyed reading it...And yes, this Author's nite section is very essential to be read before reading a piece from that writer...I'm glad you took the effort to do so :)

[Anjali]

Well expressed dear. Starting from the first hey to the departure. I could feel what you portrayed in this creative writing- since you've mentioned this as just your imagination.

[Saumya]

Thankyou Anjali :) I'm glad you could relate so well with this real, yet an imaginative poem of mine😊

[Raven Starhawk]

Even though this isn't based on a personal experience you penned it so clearly as one that anyone can relate to. People often enter our lives. Some stay a while and others depart. The ones that stay are lifelong companions/friends and generally people who see you through hardships. Those who seem to fade away and not really offer much are best forgotten.

[Saumya]

Thankyou for sharing your thoughts, Raven.I much appreciate and agreew with it :) indeed not everyone who comes in ones life stays forever, maybe because they are just meant to be a good lesson for the rest of the life, and therefore it's better letting go of people who wish to :)

I much appreciate your visit and review for this piece, thanks a lot 😊

[Joey Nizz]

I can understand and relate to the emotions flowing off your words.

You wrote this perfectly,
Thank you for sharing.

[Saumya]

Thankyou so much, Joey!😊 I'm very glad you could relate, and enjoyed reading this piece.

[Joey Nizz]

Your welcome Saumya :)

[Michael G. Smith]

I could feel the pain and know it well.

[Saumya]

Thankyou Michael :) glad you could relate.

[CAPOLAVORO]

This is good specially knowing that you based this out purely on fiction and imaginative feeling alone. What more if it is from your realistic view. Great write! Powerful.

Sincerely,
CAPOLAVORO

[Saumya]

Thankyou so much, CAPOLAVORO :) I'm very glad, you enjoyed reading this and going it powerful enough!
