With the deepest of love
I look to the west
To the beautiful sunset
And you Sharon, the girl I love best
We both lived in Scituate, Massachusetts
Two children in 5th grade on the east coast
At the end of 8th grade, you moved away
Three thousand miles to the west coast
Heartbroken at 14 years old in ‘71
I didn’t know what to do
All I did know
Was how very much I love you
To this very day
I’ve never known love so strong
I’m amazed of my own heart
My love for you now 42 years long
As the day grows old
I remember long ago
Back then this love was young
For all time, I would let it grow
To the west I look with thoughts of you
Knowing your out there beyond my sunset
How my love still hungers for you Sharon
With a heart that won’t forget
Do you ever wake up early?
Looking eastward to the sunrise
Wondering if I’m still in love with you
By your smile, am I still hypnotized?

This is quite lovely. Inside most of us are similar wonders.
Yes i'm sure she does have such moments as you describe for it is human nature to wonder 'what if'.
Such are the questions we compose, for which we must enjoy accepting the possibilities the void of answers provides.
Thanks for the comment da. The "what ifs" are never far from my mind. Hers? No way to know. Which again applies the "what ifs". And I agree it is human nature to wonder of. And I think that's a huge part of being a poet. What if...I never had the urge to write poetry? What if I had never put forth that question?
A fine write AP.
Of course it's fine Orchi, you read it. That makes it fine. ; )
Enjoyed this
Had a bit of trouble with the maths though
Before i saw copyright
Good to see you regularly writing again
Yeah, you have to keep the copyright year in mind, It's now almost 53 years (in September). Thanks for the read and comment peto. I'm not writing as much as I was. Most of what I've been posting is older. But you will see occasionally a new piece from me. Glad you enjoy them.
Such a lovely yet heartbreaking write. The sunrise may be beautiful but sometimes it’s what’s beyond the sunset that makes life worthwhile.
I've had a few on here comment that its sad and heartbreaking. But I actually view it all as the greatest gift I could ever ask for. I know its hard for anyone to understand, but no one on MPS (at least to my knowledge) knows Sharon the way I knew her. I was in school with her from the start of 5th grade till the end of 8th grade. I fell in love with her at first glance. Puppy love, probably. But as I always say, what do you call it when after 50 years that love is 50 years worth stronger. Heartbreaking? No where near such a tradgedy. Sharon has been the best thing ever to happen to me. And you don't have to apologize, I understand 100%. And thank you for the comment and read.
a gem of an emotional write AP - keep 'em coming.
Will do Michael. Thank you.
Beautiful indeed sir... not only that, I am pretty sure many of us here will be able to relate .. at least to one love lost and all the associated uncertainties ...
thoroughly enjoyed my friend and true
Neville
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it Bill. All poets relate to affairs of the heart.
You are asking the biggest question in all our lives "What if....?"
Yours has never left you and I am sure that with a love like that she is looking east at every sunrise wondering if you are there.
Andy
Whenever I fantasize that she is out there thinking of me, my heart shines like the sun. I don't expect that she is, but it sure would be nice. Thanks Andy.
Wait, you wrote that? I have thought the exact same thing so many times, it's as if you stole my thoughts. Maybe the years are off one or two and the name is wrong... it was 1967 and her name was Anne!
Yes I wrote that. And it all began in September of 1967. If you look through my entries you'll read much more of my love for Sharon. I hope you find your Anne. AP.
