PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Letters sit side by side, forming words that turn into thoughts 

These thoughts will hopefully come alive 

Giving insight to my heart... To a part of me that feels without explanation 

Years have past since we've been us 

In fact, I don't even really know you anymore 

What's your favorite tv show? What do you eat for breakfast? What's the first thing you do when you come home from a long day of work? 

Semantics I don't know, yet something tugs at my heart whenever I see your name 

A magnetic pull attracts you to my thoughts 

My daily life brings back memories that only add to the pull 

Some might say its circumstance... I like to think it's fate 

I don't know if you ever think of me 

I hope that your happy 

But I wonder what would or could be

You loved me before I knew what love was... Maybe even before you did too

You were patient, you were kind, you were completely you and I me 

If I knew then what I know now, my decisions would have changed 

But would that have changed it all? Changed too much? Or would it have led to something even better? 

I wish I could turn back time, live it over, slightly altered or even exactly the same. 

I know I hurt you, in my own bubble I didn't realize what I was doing

But I've been hurt and now I know... And wish I could take it back 

Commitment, vulnerability... My Achilles heels that hold me back 

Or maybe it was because the time wasn't right then 

Maybe we both had growing up to do 

Maybe I had to experience others to realize what I had in you 

Did you need to do the same? Or did I lose you in my ignorance? 

My heart is at a crossroads- is not being ready to let you go selfish of me? 

Should I do to you like you did to me, when i went halfway around the world? 

My biggest fear is that the idea in my head, the feeling in my heart is wrong

Time has passed, we've both changed... Maybe too much 

I worry that I'll be too late, you'll have a ring on another finger before we even had a chance to see

I don't know if I even deserve that chance but it's something I think about a lot 

A coffee is all I think we'll need- some things you just know almost instantaneously 

But will that ever happen? Will you ever know what's in my heart? 

How do I share something that will make me so transparent? How do I reveal my Achilles heel? 

To send these words will change out relationship, even if I don't know what our relationship even is 

Is it courageous to send or more courageous to keep to myself 

Regardless of what happens, or what the outcome will be 

I know now that I loved you, before I knew what love was 

And if at the end of the day that's all I have left, that's alright by me
