I recall the days
That I couldn’t eat
And leaving you left me in a haze
I recall the endless nights
Controlled by passion
They are too far away now; time did fly
I remember watching you sleep
How sad I was that I had to miss you
You never saw me weep
I remember the struggles we had to face
Our secret eating its way to the outside
But at night we could engage in an embrace
Now those warm moments are history
And forever etched in our mind
As delightful memories
Are we dying?
Is that why we crave the past
Is that why our memories won’t seem to last
I still love you more every day
Though our crush is lessening
I know we’ll make it through this trial
We need to find the balance
Between the old days, the ones yet to come and
The ones time keeps dragging us throughout
Author notes
I wrote this poem at a time when my sweetheart and i were having some trouble. She thought i was falling out of love and our happy times seemed to far away. the truth was that I had fallen of my cloud but my love for her was not changed
Love D.L.

I can relate to those 3 lines. Love really does change, sometimes for the better, but in my experience, I've learned it also changes for the worst. I hope everything works out for you
. And thanks for commenting on my poem.

this was sincere and quite poignaint-as love changes and grows- it is hard to watch it change-don't we all want to be madly in love forever? love that lasts is love that evolves and you pretty much said that with your last lines-well written lovely poem x
