The true meeting of hearts seems blurred with years,
And over all this time I haven't lost all my tears,
Everything back then was so much more sweet,
Yet now in the present it all seems depleted.
Patiently waiting for the next letter in the mail,
At the time I could never imagine feeling so frail,
Your words were sweet and meaningful too,
And I thought only our love would see us through.
It was all wistful thinking at the time,
Yet we could help each other out of the muck and grime,
Sleeping with a smile upon my face,
You were my embodiment of all things grace.
Over the years we've been together,
We never dreamed that this love wouldn't last forever,
Even over the miles we could conquer all things,
You even told me you went shopping for rings.
Now in the present time my heart is lonely,
And I keep repeating to myself if only if only,
If I had been more patient and caring,
You wouldn't have felt the need to always be so daring.
Maybe it was just my fault all along when it ended,
Or maybe it was just me who couldn't be mended,
But with all your talk and all your words to me,
In this the end it all seems that you were the one who couldn't see.
What we had was something that could impress,
Now in the end I have some thoughts I must confess,
Even if your professed love was merely a joke,
It will be you in the end who will of course choke.
You'll choke on the hurtful words and actions you bestowed,
I guess the dam of your love finally overflowed,
Onto the ground beneath your feet that you tread,
But is the chemistry between us that is now dead.
Now in the end it seems it has all been for naught,
Without so much as even a real lesson to be taught,
The love notes you wrote so long ago in passion,
And the joke you have played showed no compassion.

This was a very moving and emotional piece. In some of the lines the flow or rhythm seems to be off just slightly. All in all a deep meaningful write, and a relatable subject.
