the one that got away

at times we dont know what we have until we lose it

As I sit here alone thinking of you,  

 I remember all the things we use to do.

From the walks down to the end of the street, 

To the nights I'd hold you close, just to hear your heart beat.

I remember your eyes, sweet smile, and charms, 

and the soft tender touch of your arms. 

Your kindness and trust, I'll always miss,

and the love that was felt from our very first kiss.

 You gave me your heart and soul for so many years,

I'm sorry I wasn't there to wipe away all your tears.

You gave me your love and I just threw it away,

now it's something I regret every minute of every day.

Now that your gone life's just not the same,

and it's all my fault, I'm the only one that's to blame.

Sorry doesn't take back what I put you through,

I just want you to know I'll never stop loving you.

lovely words of love and loss - I think many people could be in this same position for we always think that the grass is always greener on the other side - instead what we should be doing is cherishing the moment with whomever the moment is with XX

This is a really nice poem....a lot of end rhymes however,I think you should tell who ever you are writing this about, how you truly feel. Maybe what you feel is missing could be found once again....great write.
