Forever Never Knowing

This poem depicts the critical moments in a relationship between two young friends and lovers. The turbulence of life brought them together and tore them apart. Completed 2012.

Unspoken is the affection that a young friendship found

As if we were still smoking at a park and our laughter the only sound

Farewell long talks and notions of something better

Memories pass so we'll leave it in a letter

In the midst of misfortune, the yearnings of a mourner

As if we were still talking at the shop on the corner

Farewell puzzles in those sad and lonesome places

Memories pass in the absence of one's graces

The trees gently whisper of budding affection

As if we were still savoring honeysuckle by water's reflection

Farewell three bottles of wine on carefree nights

Memories pass as we turn out the lights

A girl's aching heart heals as the music plays so loud

As if we were still consoling friends in a concert's crowd

Farewell drunken kisses in movie theaters and parked cars

Memories pass as dawn overwhelms the stars
