Memories

Relationships/Love

As I lay here beside you

Looking into your beautiful eyes

My aching heart breaks in two

For I know this is really goodbye.



As the stars shine down from above

Casting an illuminating glow

I pull you even closer

And ask why you have to go.



Before you have a chance to answer

Your soft lips press against mine

And all our emotions building up

Show through that kiss, divine



You softly whisper that you love me

And a tear slips down my cheek

I love you with all my heart and soul

More than words could ever speak



As we kiss with intense emotions

To you, my soul tries to convey

The many things that are on my mind

All me heart is wanting to say...



"Thank you for coloring my world

Your smile always brightened my day

You are my ray of sunshine

Whenever my skies are grey.



Thank you for your friendship

Which gave our love a base

A foundation we built upon

Leaving us memories no distance can erase.



I'll never forget our phone calls

That lasted late into the night

No matter how bad the day had gone

Just hearing your voice made everything alright.



We could tell eachother most anything

There were secrets between us two

You opened your heart to me

And I opened mine to you.



Thank you for all the stolen glances

And conversations with just our eyes

That let me look into your soul

And always made my spirit rise.



Thank you for the tears we shared

When suddenly things went wrong

We've been through so much together

And I've loved you all along



Our problems brought us closer together

Something I thought was impossible to do

And it was then I realized

How much our love was true



Thank you for all the hugs and kisses

That let me know how much you care

When words could not explain how you felt

I know you would always be there.



Thank you for all the passion

You take my breath away

I'll miss your sweet carresses

In your arms I want to stay.



Thank you for your love

And teaching me to love too

There will always be a special place in my heart

A place where I'll always love you



But now you're forced to move away

Leaving me and my heart behind

I'll eventually HAVE to move on

But I know you'll always be on my mind



It will be so hard for me to let go

I'll never forget the times we've shared

You mean more to me than life itself

And no one else will ever compare.



But if I ever fall in love again

(A thought I cannot comprehend)

I will still love you, but in a different way

For you will always be my friend.



I hope you know how much you've meant to me

And how much you always will

As the time comes for you to go, there's a void

An emptiness no one will ever fill



The clock strikes midnight

Time for this fairytale to end

We hold eachother close and kiss a final kiss

And whisper,"We'll always be friends."



There's one more thing I must say

As tears now flow with ease

I'll never forget you, my first true love

Thank you for the memories."

Hi,
Usually I don't enjoy poems that are long. But this is
very beautiful, and I enjoyed it very much. Second love will be very hard. Good girl. take care.

I think this is probably one of my favourites as well, I really enjoyed reading it. It was so sweet but sad at the same time...
