Lost Love



I dream of you
Of days long past
I’d touch your face
Your eyes downcast

I'd kissed your lips
You looked away
My heart was sad
I knew you’d stray

You said goodbye
I‘d not give up
There was for me
No loving cup

Years have passed
Times cruel wand
Your eyes I see
I’m no less fond

I know you’re there
But cannot see
Though loves sweet call
Still beckons me

  1. This poem points to an earlier love, one you never got to spend years with, I think. It would be neat--in a way--to see the valentines we might send to those who never saw us, who never gave us a chance. Some I remember with a similar fondness. But it's all mystery, no memory accompanies it.

  2. This holds for me, a turning away...expressed well in the lines of eyes downcast...the image is intriguing as well!

  4. You bring that memory into the light of day so clearly I can see her downcast eyes. Beautiful and sad.

  6. Love lost is sometimes the most poignant because we never had a chance to see it chipped away by the little hurts and disappointments of life.

  11. The memories linger on! Love is such that emotions will rein supreme against physical presence! Great lines oldegg!

  13. Ahhh unrequited love. Whether we held it for a moment or it eluded us entirely - it haunts us.
