I haven't seen your face
and barely heard your velvety voice
in three years time
so why do I feel this way?
I haven't had you hold me
and kiss me tenderly
in what feels like forever
so why do I miss it so?
I haven't heard those
reassuring words
the ones that make me forget
the ones that make me smile
And in all that time
when I finally see you again
all the emotions
come flooding over again
My heart swells
my knees lock
my palms sweat
when you look at me
It's been three years
since our last kiss
but it's only been a week
since you last told me you love me
But when you arrived
on my doorstep
and smiled
I knew I loved you too
And when you went down on one knee
pulled out that black box
I thought I would die
and said yes before you hit the ground
It's been three years
since I tried
to convince myself
I didn't love you
But no matter how hard
no matter the words of the jealous
I knew it was a lie
and came running back to you.......
Author notes
This poem is true. Except for the ring bit. I don't quite have that yet. But the story behind this poem is actually very sweet. He was my first love and we were together for about a year. Then I moved away and we didn't have much contact. We broke up twice, the second time more painful than the first. That was three years ago. I threw a party for my friends about a month ago and he just showed up. And in front of everybody I knew, he told me he still loved me and that he wanted to spend his life with me. And then he proposed^^ It was really cool, actually.....^^
