You meet a person that you eventually fall head over heals in love with.All is well for awhile and you plan a future together.But things fall apart and the two
become intimate strangers once again.All that is left is memories and regrets that it didnt work out.This is my way of saying the same thing and cleaning out my emotional closet thats long overdue.Also…been gone awhile and missed my
triond friends and my writing.

I thought about you once again today,

but come to think about it its nothing new.

You do cross my mind many times day,

I found out that there is no stopping you.

****

I even thought about you just yesterday,

your memory chugged like a runaway train.

You  ran through my thoughts the day before,

your memory was as strong as a raging river.

****

I have often thought about you in total silence,

and in the recent past I often spoke your name.

It does not matter if it was in talk or pleasure,

William would very easily escape from my lips.

****

Your photogragh was once in a golden frame,

it is still very glossy even after all these years.

Your dark eyes still shine and your mouth smiles,

but  it seems to be more artificial as times passes.

****

But now all that is left for me to salvage is memories,

a permanent file in the back of my mind is their home.

I take a rag and dust them when I’m feeling up to it,

casually going through the piece of a time gone by.

****

But your memory is still a treasured keepsake to me,

for we both know all our time together wasn’t all bad.

They are treasures that I don’t really want to part with,

a part of my heart and head wont ever forget you existed.

****

But as the long days pass things change for the two of us,

I find myself thinking about you less as the days pass by.

You were once my lover, best friend and future all in one,

but Mr.Cupid now wants his magical arrows back he said.

****

But over time I have grown to accept what has happened,

life has taken different turns for you and I it does seem.

But I will love you in my own way and learn to live with it,

but madam karma had other plans where we are concerned.

****

So I made my self walk away with my now beat up dignity,

my now shattered broken heart and broken pride will heal.

Its high time to find out where karma wanted me to really be,

a small but vital part of me hopes that you will find it as well.
