Today it seems to be one of those dark and gray days
I sat and thought of you for a long time once more again
But today my thoughts went deeper and I thought of all my life
And I realized so sadly that I've wasted so much time
I still feel something for you, I don't know if it is love
But I have to understand that I'm not part of your life
Today is a little different though; there's no tears in my eyes
Today I took a deep breath and walked with my head up high
Today I made a promise to forget you and move on
And today I sat in silence trying to make myself be strong
I use to smile now and then, but now I'll do so every day
And I'll pray God to let me keep it for as long as I can stand
I ask no questions anymore; there is no answer if there's no hope
And I will take what ever comes just like it is with no thought at all
I'll say a prayer every day; I'll ask for strength to fight the pain
And I will sweetly say good-bye to the love that I once felt
I once thought that you'd be here for me, but now I know you've disappeared
And I realize once more again that you were never here
Love with no hope? There's no such thing; my love is gone as you can see
So now the only thing that I can do is walk away for you're not real
So now you're free, I know you've always been
But I speak of all my conversations, fantasies and dreams
For that is the only place where you come to life
And it is sad to know that in real life I don't know who you really are
I'm tired of sadness and of tears, I'm tired of living somewhere that's not real
So I'll try to make myself be happy and enjoy the fact that you're not here
Today I took a deep breath and walked with my head up high
Today I made a promise to forget you and move on
Today I sat in silence trying to make myself be strong
And today I said good-bye to you, my precious love.

This was just what I needed to read. This was good. Very good. I like the positive outlook on this. It's very well worded. One typo is the 3rd stanza from the bottom it's not "no" it's NOT. Lol did that make sense? Anyways, I applaud this poem. It was very good!

Thank you for your comment PoeticThunder. I really appreciate you taking the time with this poem. I made the corrections. I was uploading a lot of poems and I typed them rather fast and since I mostly know the words sometimes I don't realize I made a misspelling, since I know what it's suppose to say. Thank you again for all the nice words and applause.
