I hope you like poetry
I used to write a lot but have been quiet of late. I just thought that I would share it with you.
Hole Hearted
I still wonder,
wonder where you are,
what you have accomplished.
And what our lives would have been if,
if I had stayed.
I loved you,
more than a drowning man loves oxygen,
but that was not enough.
I needed more,
and you were content in what you had.
I needed to travel,
explore,
discover,
and live.
You,
you just wanted to play house.
Though of the same age.
you were old when we met.
You were ready to settle down,
and be conservative.
I was bouncing off the walls.
I think about you often.
I think about us and the time we had,
in your arms
and lost in your eyes.
And I miss it.
But I knew then I couldn't stay.
I had to see the world and achieve my dreams.
I hope you achieved yours.
We may never again cross paths,
and while that would be disappointing,
I hope you are happy and wish you well.
I, however, still have the need to be windswept and interesting
and I still have a lot to do.
So while this is goodbye,
you shall forever be in my heart,
my dreams
and entwined into my soul.
