I'll Remember You


I turn after crossing the great expanse

As memories return this lovely trance

Of moments passed in platonic romance

I miss that past and your beautiful glance.

 

That planet beyond is where I belong

Where I was loved and thought to be strong

After such promise - a busted flush song

So I lash out in shame of things gone wrong

 

Please forgive that impression of a ghoul -

A Man’s tongue is description of a fool.

Time doesn’t drool so we cannot retool

What made us shining bastions of cool.

 

I’ll remember you if sunny or blue

I'll gladly re-view the warmth that you drew.

But now, adieu to the angel I knew,

That friend of mine who remembers me too.

<p>One word...bittersweet. We loved and we have lost. Oddly, it is better to have loved than to not have loved at all which I don't get one bit. Anyways, I like the poem. Keep writing on my friend.&nbsp;</p>
