Those days are long gone

LostLove

I loved a girl with long black hair
Whose smile was wide and skin was fair.
We met by chance in a time of innocence.
And she became my highest importance.
I gathered the courage to take her to a show,
We went into a crowd where couples would go.
It seemed like the rough sea, we wanted a shore.
To rest comfortably, forever and more.
We’d talk for hours into the early morn’
And when we were separated we’d feel forlorn.
I waited for months to see her for weeks.
When apart we could only speak.
Her mother was lovely, her father was kind.
I wanted us to be family it was clear in my mind.
I slept in their house, I laid in her bed.
And on my chest she’d rest her head.
We’d wake to the noise of streets in Japan.
And talk in a language they couldn’t understand.
We kissed in the east we kissed in the west.
Distance never seemed to be a test.
I gave her earrings of sapphire and gold.
A gesture I felt was heartfelt and bold.
I secured my love or so I had thought.
But it was false love that I had bought.
And after awhile her voice turned silent.
And her affection for me became distant.
I pulled her towards me in heated panic.
But she couldn’t respond, her feelings were static.
It started so simple, but became far too complex.
She was worried about today, I was worried about the next.
Our conversations dwindled to minutes of hate.
And she told me our marriage could never have a date.
I swallowed my pride, I cursed and cried.
But she was too far gone to stay by my side.
Her love was taken to another country.
And my heart was dumped, buried in the sea.
A fool’s game I played, and now know defeat.
Like a pawn in chess I was murdered by the queen.
I’m forced to walk aimlessly now like a ghost.
Horrified that I still love her the most.
So if you see her, send her my love.
Tell my bird that she will remain a dove.
But don’t you wait for her reply.
I know the response and it’ll kill me inside.
Those days are long gone.
