Once Shared

@Uootem

I recall something special
in the love we once shared,
Everything felt so right when
I knew for certain you cared.
I would have thought love would last forever
based on emotions so strong
But today I must face the questions
of how I could ever been so wrong?

So much of the present spent
reminiscing the events of a long ago
Dreaming of a someday when
i find the courage for letting you know
Revealing my love is still there...
that it has not faded but even grown
Yet all of my thoughts are now
just memories of the love that I have known.

I still can't believe
that I was so naive... too blind to see
That even with so much love we once shared...
in time that sharing would not be
But you see, the love you gave,
made me feel so wonderful and real
Sometimes I wish you were able
to feel the feelings I still can feel.

Now i realize that we were just to too young...
only playing an adolescent love game
That to count on something so innocent
and fragile remaining is quite insane
At times as I think about how quickly it all ended
and I find myself asking "why?"
But no reason-filled answers come readily to me
and I feel myself starting to cry.

I'm hoping that someday
you will return to my life and rescue me
From all of this pain of love's separation
that has caused so much misery
The years pass me by without your return
to bring love that once was so true
Still a day does not go by
that I don't find myself intently watching for you.

I have written so much poetry
just so someday read you would know
You have always remained on my mind
and I can't let the feeling go
If I were granted just one single wish,
it would be to feel again your sweet touch
Because deep down inside my soul
I continue to love and miss you so much.
