At one time we sat there completely together,
and our thoughts and feelings dictated forever.
You seemed to be,
possessing the key,
to unlock my thoughts and to set my soul free.
I have to admit that it has been a blast,
reflecting on reveries, of our dear past.
But now it's been years,
I've shed all my tears,
I'd filled you with all sorts of devious fears.
An ocean between us,
emotional flood,
Your name will remain within my veins and blood.
Despite all our conflicts and treacherous fights,
and times we have talked through those days and those nights.
Though memories haunting, I'll never forget,
All times we've spent, and the times I regret.
There's no explanation
and no hesitation,
Destroying your heart wasn't planned destination.
But now I am here in my own living hell,
With pasts and my secrets to which I'll never tell.
Author notes
1a I whisper secrets just for you to hear. There are times in our lives when we meet that special someone, we never appriciate them until they're long gone. The kind of person that didn't intend on it, but someone who taught you some of life's valuable lessons. We'd bothe had our faults, but despite what has happened, there will be events forever remembered by us.

tragic but true
I loved it so much I can't tell you. It reminded me of my bf and our past. I am sad because I felt that this is based on experience. my favorite lines were:
"emotional flood,
Your name will remain within my veins and blood."

This is a beautiful poem. It's sad and flows very well. One line that I will point out is the same as the first persons was to leave a comment.
"Your name will forever remain in my veins and my blood"
That is very true. You never get over someone you once loved.
Good work.

I think this is a good poem and the rhyming went very well. At first I thought the other person would've broken your heart but apparently not. Still, I'm not about to get into a fight over it.
My favorite line was
"Your name will forever remain in my veins and my blood."
I, oddly enough, have dated the same guy in a long distance relationship for about three years and we've been breaking and snapping back together for quite a while. We don't date anyone else because it feels odd and i envy your ability to walk away and move on no matter how long it took. I'm still in love, even when we're off and on and he is too.
I like the ocean line as well. And the line about a personal hell makes me ponder whether or not you've actually moved on. At first I thought you did but I had to re-read it, I apologize for that. It's a beautiful poem. It's kind of funny though in a morbid way- when we end things to move on we find that we always think about that person or we think back on past events, no?
Life is weird and love is weirder.
Nice write.
