The memories are distant,
Yet painfully within my reach.
In my mind, I hear your voice on the phone
Yet all I get in reality is monotonous dial tones
So many years have passed since parting
And still I stumble over my words
Whenever we are near
I once stood at the front of us
Confident in youth and reckless joy
But beneath me now lies insecurity
Whereas you have flourished anew.
Proudly I look upon you, the man you always wanted to be
And wished I once again knew you more
Moved on from the young love
once shared and cherished. Promised
forevermore we would remain as one.
Even now I wish to feel you next to me,
Wondering if it would feel the same,
Or if time faded the warmth of your arms.
Feckless longing is pointless
As we've both changed and grown
Yet still I wonder, what it is like to be her
To have your love once more.

"The memories are distant,
Yet painfully within my reach"
"And still I stumble over my words
Whenever we are near "
--i do this to
"I once stood at the front of us
Confident in youth and reckless joy
But beneath me now lies insecurity
Whereas you have flourished anew.
Proudly I look upon you, the man you always wanted to be
And wished I once again knew you more"
"Even now I wish to feel you next to me,
Wondering if it would feel the same,"
"Yet still I wonder, what it is like to be her
To have your love once more."
i like where you say " yet still i wonder, what its like to be her" cause i too wonder this...it hurts.

Wow... since writing this, the subject of the piece has passed away... Re-reading this gave a whole new meaning to the term "bitter-sweet" I think.

great write here
In the rush to become the adult of your dreams we at times overlook love . But the memory is laced with such tenderness there is and always be the thought of disturbing the ballance with real life. Its a love never lost but rather cherished

O yes, we all experience lost love and it totally sucks but sometimes when you look down the road it is for the better. Great pen.
A MURDEROUS LAMENT <\33 -
Wow
That one truly touched me. I completely understand the "One that go away" idea, and just fantasizing about the "What if". Just amazing.

I know how that feels. This is a wonderful piece. full of raw emotion. great write, please keep penning.

It's truely beautiful.
It's a shame, having love lost... or at least I'm sure it is.
There's always the 'what if's. Enjoy life. It's a constant journey. :]
