Love Leaves its Mark

great love lost

In my life, I've been through many things
I've had some really great times
Been in love so perfectly
Never thought that she would go
And leave me here, behind her
I made some mistakes
I could never hurt or betray her
Could it have been her betrayal
What could have happended
That was so bad
Our love has fallen
I must have been blinded,
In contentment
I left behind a piece of me
Stuck with just a highlight reel
Of memories, I guess that is okay
They're all that I have left of
All the great times, we've had
Memories are so precious
They're are all that I have left
Each night, they, are there waiting,
Safe in the library that is my mind
I've spent more time there
Since she's been gone
Than I ever did with her
How can something mean so much
Have so much importance, it leads you
You find you can look
But, you never really see
Nothing can ever even come close
To the times of
Her and I, now locked within my mind
Did we take it all for granted
We're we just all out of time
If someone would have told me
Then I'd have never
Closed my eyes from the truth
If I had not been so lost in love
Maybe, I would not be left behind
Instead I never saw it, not at all
Seems that the best of times
Are still just times
Yes, the good times
Must always come to an end
A certain time to say goodbye
A certain time that we must cry
Your love it's supposed to sync
Our love just came and found us
So very natural, we just knew
We always, were.so very much, in love
It seemed as though we knew our way
Never to be lost
Our love so pure and true
We thought our love
Would surely keep us together
Forever
I know now in my heart,
It could never be the same
That place that was there
Within ny heart, now has no room for two
Its just a lonely hideaway
For the memories to stay
The rest had packed up gone
When it changed, it changed forever
Its gone, and gone forever
Broken hearts,
They seem to never mend
So, Treasure the moment, memories
Surely one day, someday soon
You'll awaken feeling lost
Find that suddenly, your left behind
I hope you saved all thst's important
That might mean do much to you
In the memories of those times
Sometimes now I will talk to her
Funny, She has forgotten
Or not remembered near as much as me
I've never lost a moment, not a single memory
Young love, hugs, tears and kisses
So innocent and pure,
True love it seems was just me being a fool
Its such a little bit of time,
Two hearts can't hold on to love
If both don't hold ohm tight
It's hard for me, most everyday
She's been gone from me awhile
Our love was just a moment
A tiny bit of time
I wished it forever
Thats a dream, did not come true
Except for the memories that remain
Its like it never really came, just went
I'll never forget, it's much to true
And you can bet
Love left its Mark

Author's Note

Once in a while there is a bit if prose that never seems to finish. Begs itself into existence. Then you can't leave it alone. Until you find thatone day it's finally found it's way home. This one may be home......

I do understand the poem.
"Except for the memories that remain
Its like it never even came
I know, that it will never come again
The song keeps playing on....."
Love will test us often and if we are lucky. We will find real and permanent love one day. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

"Love leaves it's mark"
Greg Agee,
How does the saying go....It's better to have loved and lost then to never of loved at all. This seems like an insensitive saying but the reality of a true love means that it is in our soul. This poem is deep in your soul.
I really liked the mention of memories so precious and that is "all I have left." Then the mention of the "library" where you can revisit.
Blessings,
Kathy
