LostLove

--------_________------------
I can’t escape you
no matter how many times I turn around
I see you there
looking back at me
your beautiful face
too tempting to resist
your smile
too wonderful to deny
Not a day goes by
that you don’t cross my mind
Try as I might to shut you out
I’m powerless against the stray thoughts
that wonder in when my mind is quiet
or my heart is in need of a smile
I need to forget you
I need to find a different path
but you made me so happy
and loved me so openly
that I can never forget what we shared
Even as the years push us apart
and time fades those joyful memories
I feel drawn to you
lost in you
and hopelessly entranced by you
I hope you find your happiness
even in the arms of another
No matter if the vision destroys me slowly
I know you deserve something more
than an absentee lover
waiting to take you home
Just know that around every corner I turn
I will see you looking back
Your face both beautiful and haunting
a welcome image
of a broken heart
I cherish our memories
and wish things could be different
but no matter how much I love you
I can never change what is
what was
or what has to be
So find your peace
and enjoy your life without me
But promise you’ll think of me on those still nights
when I’m turning corners in my mind
and staring deep into your loving eyes
but missing your gentle touch
or heartfelt words
Give me thoughts of warmth
to let this shivering soul have some peace
don’t let me slip into cold oblivion
and let me remember when you were mine
when life was easier
and nothing more need be said

| Fantastic! There is much honor in that person, that is capable to let that which they love...go away |

Beautifully expressed emotion. In some ways it left my heart longing.
A wonderful piece of work.
Peace
