A poem dedicated to someone I used to love for three years.

We used to look at the same sky,
even though we were miles apart.
We shared the same laughter and sorrow,
even though you were always not by my side.
And whenever you said you were lonely, I would accompany you,
even though we were in different parts of the world.
But that was how things used to be,
and that was the end of our chapter.
You’ve found your new love.
I’m glad, though I’m also sad,
that I wasn’t the chosen one.
Yet, you will still have my blessings.
Sorry about the mistakes I’ve done in the past,
sorry for the moments I’ve made you sad,
and sorry for not being able to turn up,
for the most important day of your life – your wedding.

Sorry if this poem sounds horrible (I know it sounds very weird). It’s my first attempt in writing a poem. I actually have a comic related to our story, posted in my blog. The girl is someone I used to love for 3 years. She didn’t accept me, but I was nearly there. Anyway, as stated in the poem, she’s getting married soon – end of November 2008. That signals the end of our chapter, and that’s what this poem is all about.

I just want to wish her all the best. :)

    LOL yeah for some reason I had to write my comment like four times just to get here. AND your poem does NOT sound weird at all to me. ^_^ I’m not just being kind, I really like it.

    The poem is really nice! I don\’t have the gift of writing poems. And even if I try writing one, my poem won\’t be half as good as yours! Great job.

    You are really good in expressing your life story into words and comic…very creative in the way of how you elaborate your own feeling. I wish I have this kind of talent too…^_^
