I Miss You

I would like to

Say this special poem

For a special someone

I have loved

In the past;

My first love-

A guy by name

Of

Joe.



Joe was the one

I loved since

We first met

In the middle

Of eighth grade;

Joe was smart;

Gentle;

Kind;

Funny;

Loveable-

Anything a chick

Would like to see

In a guy.



I feel in love

With Joe

Instantly

On the first

Day we met;

I think he noticed;

But that was then-

Joe never told me

If I was

Blushing right in front of

Him;

I was okey with that.



At the time,

I sensed that

Joe was also

In love with me,

As well;

But he didn't

Tell me that he felt it.

I was okey with that.



I also sensed that

Joe was blushing

Everytime that

I was near

Or talking with him;

I didn't tell him that,

Though.



I thought that our

Love would be

Forever.

But it wasn't that way.

We were like other

Lovers-

Disagreements here and there;

Then we'd be

Apologizing

And saying we're sorry.



We had a lot of

Love and

Respect for each other.

We were true lovers-

Until the incident that

Tore us apart.



We were at a picnic

In the park

And Joe and I

Were playing

Volleyball-

Having a heck of

A good time,

Laughing and having fun;

But

All of asudden

Joe and I had one

Of those aweful

Arguments-

But it didn't get

Any better;

It got worse-

I said that I was

Sorry for that

Happening-

But Joe....

He ignored me

And walked away;

I thought he was

Going to go

Unwinde from his

Unhappiness-but no.



This picnic was one

With all of my

Classmates;

And our teachers

Were there,

Watching us.



Joe had gone over

To the teachers

And they called me

Over.

They asked me

If I did it,

And I shouldn't have

Said it was...

But,

They suspended him.

I didn't know until later,

But I found out that

My love,

My beloved Joe-

Had moved.



I couldn't stop crying

For weeks in advance

About my beloved Joe

Leaving me.

I had a hard time

Keeping my food down

After I ate.

I cried myself to sleep

At night.



I did everything I could

To try and get

My beloved Joe

Back-

But none of it

Brought him back

Into my life.

My life, my love, my Joe-

Was gone.



When i tried to

Get help from

Someone-

It didn't come

For 6 more days-

Until I met Lyndsey.



I never told her

About Joe,

But I could tell

She sensed

The pain in my

Broken and wounded

Heart.

She helped heal it

Back to norma-

And eventually

I got over it;

I never forgot

Joe,

And I'll always

Remember him.



Joe

Was great-

He helped me

A lot,

Even when I

Needed help;

He was there

For me-

Through

Thick and thin.



I've now realized

I hadn't gotten

A chance to say

Goodbye to him-

I now regret

Starting that

Argument-

I never should have

Starte it

In the first

Place.



I also realize that

I never had a chance

To tell him

I loved him-

And I also

Regret this.

I now will say it:

I still love you, Joe.



Now that part is

Over,

I would

Like

To say

A few

Words

Of

My own.



Joe,

I miss you, luv.

I wish that we

Were still

Together;

And then my father

Would still be

Living with my

Mum and I.

Joe,

I'm sorry that you

Had to be suspended.

I didn't mean for it

To happen.

I'll still be there for you,

Joe.

I hope that will be

Enough to

Make your

Broken heart

Mend,

Joe.

Love,

Victoire.



I hope he will read this

Poem soon.

He has been a fan

Of Enya's music

For a long time,

Now.

When I told him

That I was also

A fan of Enya's music,

He smiled at me

And didn't say

A word.



I just want to say,

I miss you,

Joe.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem a long time ago because of the memory of the loss of my first love was haunting me.
