"UNTITLED POEM"

Would you just listen and please don't say a word, just yet,

I'd like you to think back to the very first time we met,

How you felt around me' The memories we shared.

And just remember that once upon a time you really cared.

Now think about how we parted and how much I cried,

But please don't speak' remember that I never lied'

That I told you the  truth about why we were to split'

But now I'd like you to know that my heart broke bit by bit.

The pain was deep, unbearable and painful'

I'll never forget all the sadness, all the uncontrollable tears,

Slowly I am rebuilding my life, I am contented with what I've got,

And though it's hard for me to live without you

You were a special part of my life that I will never forget, 

A part of my life that broke my heart, but that I don't regret,

You gave me happy memories that I'll keep in my heart,

I wish that you and I didn't have to part.

You were my first love and my true love' and forever you will be

After all of the heartaches, sadness and never ending pain, I know,

You and I had something special and that will never change,

Because I love you and loving someone else will always seem strange.

Would you just listen and please don't say a word, not ever,

I'd like you to remember that once upon a time, we said forever,

That I had hopes and dreams, that I was the one who threw them away,

And this is something I will always regret until my dying day.
