Sometimes I wish

I could just stop dreaming.

I tell myself that I'm -

I'm doing fine.

 

Then I catch myself

Staring at other couples.

That's how I know that I'm -

Living a lie.

 

I love the way

You always stopped to kiss me,

Every time you headed

For the door.

 

I love the times

I'd catch you spinning in circles,

In the living room when you thought

You were alone.

 

And I love the way

Your eyes always sparkle,

When chocolate or flowers

Were delivered to the door.

 

These are the things

I need to remember

'Cause you're not walking

On my earth anymore.

 

I'll see you soon.

I'll see you soon,

I promise.

 

I'll try to be good

As good as you.

 

I'll see you soon.

I'll see you soon,

I promise.

 

Then we'll walk together,

I always like it when poetry that does not exactly rhyme just comes together based on rythm and some intangible quality that makes it click as poetry. Takes gut instinct to do that, while people like me count syllables!    Great shit!  (this was George )   » Report this comment to administrator » Reply to this comment... » See all 1 replie(s)   Posted by gsaracen 03-26-2008 04:28,   yeah me and my antics...
