Beloved Caitlin

                              

My love for you is like the morning sun,

Newly risen and farthest from its set.

For when I show how much I care for you,

The sun is brilliant and the day is nice.

But when the sky is gray and we are blue,

The thought of sunny days must then suffice.

I pray you have the strength to tolerate,

To live, and adore, and learn to embrace,

The things you wish that I'd eradicate,

From the being behind this loving face.

I can not help it but I can not change,

Although I'd  try for you, you know I would.

So dearest love when love to us it strange,

Please promise me you'd do this if you could.

I want you darling when our day is done,

to look on us and leave with no regret.



Do not fear my beloved Caitlin dear,

If I should leave I promise I'll return.

The sun is never seen at night you know,

And like the sun I might be down sometimes,

But always in the morning I will glow,

In true redemption from my loving crimes.

Know that I love you always.  Never fear,

'Cause like the sun for you I'll always burn.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

the rhyme scheme is a little funny on this one....I use to try to make all my poems sound and look different.  Eplore new ways of forming them and such.  This was written about my lovely Caitlin, at a time when my best guy friend at the time was dating her.  I wrote it for him to give to her.  He told her it was from him and that he wrote it and I told her later after they broke up that I wrote it for him to give to her.....complicated I know.  Hey, what are friends for?  But seriously though.  If you read closely you can tell that I know that Wayne has his flaws and that there relationship will end because of those flaws.  I did hope that niether one of them would regret it though. As much as Caitlin things that he might not have loved her, I know that he did and that he's hiding his feeling so that they won't hurt as much.  That's what I would do!  I love you!

Im in a bit of a rush so I don't really have a comment or critique. I just wanted to thank you for yours. I had honestly forgotten this acount existed. I wrote those poems when I was 13 or maybe it was 15. Im not sure. I just know im nearly 20 now so its been a while. Unfortunately any flare I had for writing then has been lost. These days its cryptic, seemingly non-sensical lines I write, never more than 3 or so. But I appreciate your responses
