I remember the time we spent together
Your laughter still rings in my mind
Like wedding bells in a church
You were the greatest man I could find.
Your smile lit my world
A thousand times brighter
Than could even the sun or moon
I thought it would go on forever
A pity it had to end so soon.
I still hear your soft voice
Whispering, singing in my ear
Now that you've flown out of my reach
The trickle of my tears is all I hear.
I remember the coldness in your eyes
When you left me so alone
I still remember your goodbye
It turned my heart to stone.
Now as I watch the years fly by
Silence and bitterness have become my friends
I sometimes still wonder why
Why our love had to end...

I often thought I would live alone in this life. That is, of course, a usual mournful teenage thought. I am still young, and there's plenty of time in the future to say that, when I'm an old spinster. However, I could not resist to write this poem of unrequited love, pining for a lost one. I have experienced what it is like to like a person so very much that he fills even your dreams at night, and then find out that he loves someone else. This has happened to me quite a number of times, even though I'm still considered a hotblooded teenager. In fact, most of the poems I have written are from personal experiences. So, this poem will probably apply in many more situations as I move forward in my life.
