I Remember When

I remember when...
I was the only care in your world,
the glue holding us together
for a lifetime.

I remember when...
you became my sight,
allowing me to see
only you.

I remember when...
you asked me for my life
to replace your own,
to become us.

I remember when...
you would blend my tears
with your very own,
to ease the pain within me.

I remember when...
you were always there for me
in moments of darkness,
giving light to my  blemished soul.

I forget when...
you loved me as I love you now,
I forget when I used to believe
in myself

or anything else...

    Searching for love...as time grows older so familiar it becomes when things are going well. Then it becomes like pssing in the night, a hallway, things are still familiar, yet different, Both forget, at times what it used to be. Remiders left in photo's hanging on a wall, certain phrases that were once spoken. A glance at what used to be, and still could be! Wonderfully crafted wording for such a great poem!

    passion that is portrayed in this writing is timless.When lovers beloved the other.then it far more than physical, it spiritual.

    Yes! I too remember and find it hard to ever forget. Life has a simple way of reminding us sometimes. You are and always will always be the best that you can fathom my dear brother friend. I am sure that all those who know and love YOU, know that for sure!


    Always ♥

    This is so absolutely amazingly exquisite and beautiful that it takes my breath away.The words portray a novel array of earnst and deeply intense emotions of true love and affection.The pain of losing the love that once was his is depicted within the onfines of the write.It is honestly very painful when one loves the one who loves no more ,the unrequited love gives undeniable torturos pain and this poignance is braided into the lines of this verse.Thanks for sharing ,take cre and keep sharing...

    Lost in time

    This piece feels quite "lost in time". It captures deep feeling almost as if hanging in the air, then it seems even more suspended when it comes to the "I forget" verses. I was most mystified as to why you would want to forget the last two items. Many people wait their whole lives for those things, yet you had them, and forgot. Then I read the poem again, and I think, possibly, you never had those last two. An unusual technique---to use "forgot" for something you never had. It's either that or I'm the one suspended in mid air (and upside-down at that), and I have absolutely no idea what those last two lines mean. Yes, let's go with that last image. I think I look funny hanging upside down---and wondering about the true meaning of this poem. Somehow I don't think this is what you expected when you asked me to read, my apologies, I simply feel a little "lost".

    awww this is beautiful and yet so sad,
    to remember when...
    i bet some can relate to those words.
    the ending is so touching to the heart,
    makes me want to cry.

    yes, this is very sad. The way it's written is hypnoitizing almost. I really liked it....totally delves deep into what happens all too often in relationships, and expresses it so clearly....very nice work.

    Such sadness in this tender piece of love that has waned - gone amiss. Love is really something, we are completely wrapped up in it - over the moon elated and then crash - devastated by it in a single swoop.
    Quite passionate. ~Pamela

    This is beautiful. It rememinds me of a painting I once saw. A man stood in front of a partially frosted window gazing at the night sky, his face hidden from view. Beyond the window were stars and comets and the moon. A female silloutte on the moon was obscured by clouds, but still visible. It was as though his memories were taking form in nature---as though he were saying good-bye, but refusing to let go.

    This poem hints at loss, but uses bright and loving phrasing. It was very...it was...beautiful. Ha ha ha! I can't describe it any other way.

    I believe that this write is going to resonate with many...you have written of something that happens to many as they move from the beginnings of a relationship, into that unfamiliar territory that can become so isolating...thank you for sharing...

    Well this sure sounds like a lonely place to be. It's sweet for sure, but all seems to be leaning toward something you feel is lost to you. A time, a woman or a girl, a place.....

    When all has been stripped away, and all that your left with is your Faith in love, well, that's a really good place to Begin
