PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

(Dedicated to Melissa Stasinopolous)







It was a Tuesday afternoon at your house



and we'd just got done shopping that day.



It was time for you to go



and for me to continue on my way.







We both got out of the car.



You looked me in my eyes.



I lost myself in yours



Here's the twist, the surprise....







We hugged and kissed in the street



then you began to walk away.



I called out your name,



but when you turned around, I had nothing to say.







If I knew that more that two years



would wither away and die



then perhaps I would have said



something more than just, "Bye"







If only I had known that would be the last



time that I would ever see you again



then perhaps I would have said



thouse precious words that I held within.







I told you many times before



that I loved you so,



but why didn't say it



one last time before I let you go?







That one day comes back to haunt me,



and I drown in my pool of regret.



I took for granted that you'd be always be here.



A sad mistake that I shall never forget.







I'm sorry for not you before,



but here's what I wanted to say,



"Melissa, I love you, and I will



Forever, and a day."







                               Much Love,
