PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know what I had.
What I don't know is why I gave it away.
I'd do anything I could now to make him stay.
I do not question if it was stupid.
I only regret and wonder what could have been.

I had a man who loved me for me.
I had a man who loved country.
I had a man who enjoyed a simple walk.
I had a man who loved to listen to rock.

I had a man who knew my past.
I had a man who knew we could last.
I had a man who's family was willing to take me as their own,
I had a man with whom I spent endless hours on the phone.

I had a man who loved the same food.
I had a man who always understood my mood.
I could bank on his soda of choice.
And he always seemed happier when he heard my voice.

I had that man and now he's gone.
He might show up again later on,
And when he does I will wonder again
What would have been?
What should have been?
