Well, it happened again today.
I ran into my ex, old flame.
I didn't know wether to scream,
or just run away.
I hadn't seen or heard from him,
in exactly four years to the date,
of May 23rd,2004,present day.
What a trip this was,at least for me.
He still looked the same to me,
it seemed,
and I just had to run and flee.
He was seen by me at first,
in,'The Dollar General Store'.
He didn't see me,until out I burst,with,
Oh, My God!!
Then he saw me,very clearly.
I couldn't say a single word!
I just walked over by my sister,
and froze.
I said, Oh My God,look who it is,
it's him!
The one that I loved so much,
at one time.
All I could do was hide.
I couldn't be nice to him,
and just say hello or hi,
like most normal women would,
because I just wanted to die!
I felt all of those inner butterflies,
inside of me, once again,
and it all started coming back to me,
all of those little lies!
We were much more than friends,
at one time,
so it was very hard for me,
to even look him, in the eye.
I felt like I could scream and cry,
but I knew I had to try and keep my composure,
as he vastly left the scene,
and walked right on by,and out the door,very quickly.
My Sister saw him leave in a truck,
as he rolled out of sight.
I couldn't even bat an eye,
because of all the hurt.
At one time, he lied to me,
and I will never forget, what they say,
what goes around,comes around,
and I had left him,the first time.
Well, I'm sure he's probably married now,anyway,
although I guess he's still in my heart,to stay.
I don't think the pain of him,will ever go away!
I felt my heart turn upside down,
and I had to pretend,to make a frown,
cause I sure didn't want to feel,like a clown!
At least I know, he's still around,
and I'm glad that he'alright.
I guess I will always feel him,in my life,
even though he's not even,by my side.
My sister said,God always has a plan,
and nothing ever happens,without a reason.
I suppose maybe,she could be right,
but it sure had been a long,long time!
She said, He',was meant to be my Man,
but I'm still trying to get over him,
the very best, that I can!
It just proves that life does go on,
not always the way we may want,
but it does linger,somber and long,
as time, takes it's toll on you!
Right or wrong,what do you do,
especially when the biggest fool of all,
is essentially, you!
That, my friends, does prove true!!

you did it again
so lovely filled with love and confusion when ones heart is played with it does make such an impact on your life i hope she finds love again that will mend her heart. -
" As he vastly left the scene" stood out for me, it just doesn't quite gel to vastly leave, perhaps you meant something else? Or maybe I have misunderstood, which I am apt to do! I related to this scenario and the difficulty of the head and the heart wanting to say different things and ironically the only lie I told my ex was in a similar situation, I had to lie and reply that I no longer loved him for I could not cope with what would happen again if I told him I loved him, oops am rambling, apologies!

WOW... SUCH A SAD STORY.. I HAVE BEEN THERE TOO GIRL.. the heart is a strong one indeed.
although I guess he's still in my heart,to stay.
I don't think the pain of him,will ever go away!
that part is so true... but with time it will become a little less painfull...

Wow, I love the plot of tihs poem. And I can relate very well to this, and I also like the uniqueness of how it was in a story mode almost, but yet also in poem form. Amazing :]
"I guess I will always feel him,in my life,
even though he's not even,by my side."
My favorite lines, definitely. I love the acceptance lingering in those lines, and the hurt that is placed in every line. Great write. Thanks for entering :] <3 -
It's too bad
You can't have a do-over, because I would've suggested that you let him know(thru your actions) that I was perfectly fine and just because he walked into a room I wouldn't fall apart. He'd know he had no power over me, and even though I doubt I would speak to him I surely would carry on as if he weren't important enough to deserve even a glance, but that's just me
A good story too bad it bothered you so much to see him though, hope you're ok now.
