The Wind

Folder: 
2001 Poetry

As I sit here on a cold summers night,

I listen to the wind,

and I think of you.

I think of all the times we spent together.

The nights we would talk for hours,

and the times we wouldn’t talk for what seemed like years,

yet it was only days.

I remember the first time I heard those 3 words,

I Love You.

And from that point on,

I knew you were the one

that I wanted to be with

for the rest of my life.

But now your gone,

and it’s hard to move on.

Those 3 words are still fresh in my mind.

I hope that just because we no longer speak,

that those words are still true.

I know I still feel the same feelings for you,

as I did before.

Those feelings will never go away.

If I could only find you,

and tell you how much I truly care for you.

Then maybe you would come back to me.

I should have spoken long ago.

When I knew you really loved me.

Then maybe you wouldn’t have gone away.

Leaving without a trace.

Not a clue of where you had gone.

Only memories.

Just then,

a thought comes to mind.

What if I talked to the wind,

and told it how dear you were to me?

Would it carry the message to you?

And even if it did,

what would I say?

Thinking of you leaves me speechless.

So as I speak into the wind,

I say the what comes from the heart.

Those 3 words that meant so much to me.

The ones that I would give anything to hear again.

I Love You

And as I say them into the wind,

a silent tear runs down my cheek.

Soon to follow

a flood of tears.

And at that very moment,

it begins to rain.

I now know

that you have received my message.

and your now crying the same silent tears as I.

Some days I wonder,

Do I ever cross your mind?

I pray that you still feel those feelings from before.

Sometimes I swear I hear your voice.

Telling me those 3 words I love to hear.

Those words that drive me insane.

And then I think.

It’s just the wind.

Telling my what I always thought was true.

Those 3 words that mean the most to me.

I Love You.
