This piece is about how you pick up the pieces after a failed marriage or relationship.

Distance certainly makes the heart grow fonder

But our together times confirmed our devotion

And the distance times made you ponder

Left you with heartfelt confusion.

No matter how little or how long

Your time to grow and discover

You know when you belong

You know you’ve found your true lover.

Its when together you feel a connection

Its when together you feel first loved

Its when together there is equal passion

Its when together no feelings are gloved

It’s when together words fail me

Its when together I feel a pulse

Its when together I see

And nothing is false

Sometimes there’s reluctance

Unbelieving that to someone else

You have importance.

Until its staring you right in the face

But you can’t see it

Only when you’re in another place

Things start to fit

How can we be scared of something we’ve always wanted?

Why do we say I don’t want to lose you?

When it feels like we bonded.

Because,

When we were together we wanted a “forever”

When we were apart we were too scared to start.

As I pick up my heavy heart

And I no longer pursue you

I slowly restart

And I hope you will too.

    This has a terrific flow because of the rhyme scheme you wrote into this. The sentiment is clearly presented with the vivid imagery created as well, making for a very good write. Michael
