Bumping into you was completely unexpected. It’s been years since I last saw you. With “how are you’s” and small talk my love for you began shouting in my heart again. The volume of that voice in my heart is still loud days later. I love you. I always will. I miss you so. A.O.
Our eyes crossed
my voice was lost
Her smile
destroyed my soul.
Words were broken
thoughts were woken
Why must
she torment me so.
From “Her smile destroyed my soul” by Peter Wetzel
My love for you has lasted well after the happy days when you and me were ‘we’. I lost you a long time ago, but my heart still yearns for you and refuses to let go. Why couldn’t I love you then like I do now? Realizing what I had once it’s gone is life in an ocean of regret. G.L.
She’s somewhere in the sunlight strong,
Her tears are in the falling rain,
She calls me in the wind’s soft song,
And with the flowers she comes again.
Yon bird is but her messenger,
The moon is but her silver car;
Yea! sun and moon are sent by her,
And every wistful waiting star.
Song” by English author Richard Le Gallienne
Losing you has thrown me into a tailspin. Once I liked who I was, but now it’s difficult to even look at my reflection in a mirror. How long will I punish myself for hurting you & driving you away? Will this pain ever leave? How can I forgive myself? How do I end this torment? R.B.
The worst loneliness
is to not be comfortable
with yourself.
Mark Twain
I keep telling my self, of course, you’re going to get your heart-broken. That’s part of life, and it makes me stronger. One day someone will come along, and it’ll all pay off. Then no one will ever break my heart again; that is once I get over you and how you hurt me. A.F.
As soon as
forever is through,
I’ll be over you.
Lyrics by Toto
I don’t let anyone see, but I cry at times when I think of you. If I’m alone it’s easy to give in to missing you, wanting you and loving you. After what you did that makes me a fool, but I don’t care. I’d get on my knees and beg if I thought it would get you to come back to me. D.H.
I have stood before you
Smiling and loving.
I have laid beside you
Naked and blushing.
I have knelt behind you
Pleading and begging.
I have cowered beneath you
shaking and crying.
I have closed my eyes
bared my soul.
quenched my dreams
lost my pride…
Taken from “Me” by Carrie Baker
Over time it became painfully obvious we should not be together, but logic hasn’t stopped me from day-dreaming about what might have been. Hindsight has saved the good times & forgotten the bad. I suppose that’s lifes way of making me OK we’re no longer together. K.M.
We had a lot of fun
When we were together
I’ll never forget
I’ll always remember.The laughs that we shared
The dreams that we had
But those dreams changed
And they left me sad.I know you’ve moved on
And found someone new
But I have to admit
I still wish for you.This isn’t healthy for me
I really need to stop
When I think about our past
My heart wants to pop.So as I say my last goodbye
I want you to know
That I’m trying my best
To learn to just let go.“Just Let Go” by Aubrey at bestteenpoems.com
When we broke up, I could hardly breathe. Once I caught my breath, I didn’t want to eat. When food interested me again, I wanted to be alone. Eventually I was able to be with people again but they made me think of you. Those thoughts made it hard to breathe. S.J.
Emotions are wild horses.
It is not explanations that carry us forward,
but our will to go on.
Paulo Coelho
Thoughts of you don’t fill my mind constantly anymore, but I still think of you often. I wonder what you’re doing, how you are and if you’re happy. In spite of how things ended up between us you’re forever special to me. I’ll always hold what we shared in great reverence. J.W.
If years from now I see you somewhere,
I will look at you and smile.
I will remember all the good times
we had together.

Eventually I got past the grief of you leaving me behind. For the longest time I couldn’t image being with anyone else. Our ending ruined my belief that love conquers all. Now my heart knows what a fragile and delicate state of being loving and being loved back truly is. H.B.
If only you could see the tears
In the world you left behind.
If only you could heal my heart
Just one more time.
Even when I close my eyes
There is an image of your face.
And Once again I come to realize
You are a loss I can’t replace.
From the song
“Why Did You Leave Me”
by Westlife
I have loved profoundly and been loved deeply a few times in my life. But you, and only you, are the one I loved most. I still dream about you. Frequently I wake up in the morning with thoughts of “us”. Usually I’m happy for what was, but sometimes I am sad for what I lost. K.M.
Within you I lose myself…
Without you I find myself
Wanting to be lost again.
