Her hair shone when it was raining,
her smile would brighten a cloudy day,
I never knew the beauty that I had,
till she went away.
Made me smile when I did not want to,
hated her when she saw the truth in me,
I thought she was there forever,
but this just was not meant be.
I loved when you held me,
even though I tried not to let this show,
well I have grown since then am a man now,
my feelings I want the world to know.
Never gave up on me when, I wanted to,
you made sure I was strong and would fight,
only real person to take me in,
when I had know place to go at night.
I hated that I made you cry,
with the things I may have done,
you were wise beyond your years,
I was just a punk kid wanting fun.
I never knew what I wanted in life,
I seemed to struggle but I have made it through,
the missing piece of the jigsaw I call my life,
was my best friend it was you.
Nobody understood me like you did,
nobody really tried,
those times that I told you,
I hated you, well I always lied.
I pushed you away cause you got to close,
I did not want anyone to see my hurt and pain,
I would give my life to the hands of god,
if I just could go back to that time again.
I would not be so blind this time,
I would see how much you really did love me,
maybe now I would not be pouring my heart out,
to a computer, I would be sitting with my family.
In my heart even back then I knew,
I loved you so much back,
but like I said I was just this punk kid,
I cared about how my friends would react.
You were the love of my life,
someone I will never forget,
even if I don't get to see you again,
I am glad that we met.
now when I look up at the sky,
I will always smile bright,
as you were always my perfect,
Sky every day or night.
I don't know how many more poems,
I can write for you, to try and ease the pain,
I just want you back in my life so bad,
for you to be my perfect Sky again.

I like this piece but it's a bit on the lengthy side. Check for typos!
All the best in the contest.

I like the concept very much, although the rhyme is a bit forced in certain places.

Hi James a very powerful emotional piece.Clearly this lady had a deep lasting effect on you.Sadly like many of us we never really know just what we have until it is lost to us.All we can do is look back and enjoy the memory.Guess if it is meant to be it will happen.
Age gives us a chance to realize just how crazy youth can make us
Tack care Dad

Aww. So sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. Just a very honest look at a lost love. Sometimes we wish we knew what we had before we lost it, but that's part of growing up: being grateful for what once was and what is now. Who knows? Maybe fate has plans for the two of you

Very heartfelt write mate.
These words are from the heart and I wish that your heart will one day heal. They say that time cures heartaches. I don't believe this to be true.
Friends and families [mainly both] friends that are close as your family is the best way out of the darkness. Trust me, I've driven down that lonesome road of darkness many times before. I'm about to again real soon.
I can relate to your words very well.
Stay safe
Your friend
David
