The day has arrived
Is that sadness I see in your eyes?
Our last day of school
Not knowing how to say good-bye
Knowing you’d soon be leaving
For three-thousand miles away
Leaving me far behind
For the big city of LA
Please Sharon, don’t cry for me
It’s not your tears I need
I’ve got your smile in my heart
Making for my life’s eternal creed
I told you I love you
And that you can take to your grave
As I will myself
I’ll love you for all my days
One favor I ask of you Sharon
Should you ever think of me
Please remember me with a smile
The one I adore so affectionately

Strings of the past pulled through a sense of loss and a feel of past romance. Lovely
Thanks for the read and comment soren. Much appreciated. 😉
My dear A.P never give up, you may one day reconnect to share this trueness of your heart, even if it can never be given back Sharon has been your true love. 🌹
Well one thing I'm glad for is before she left, I put that letter in her school locker confessing my feelings for her. So she did know how I felt, and I don't have to regret all these years later not telling her before she left. Currently, there's a lot of wildfires in Los Angeles and I pray she's alright. She's been the love of my life since 10 years old. 🌹
A clear sense of love and loss for the one that got away, hey if you still feel the same, maybe try tracking her down and send her this poem. A lovely read from the poetry aspect.
A private investigator to find her would cost more than I can afford, and I would know how to do it myself. Plus I wouldn't want to take a chance on interrupting her life now. Thanks Tobani.
A fine write, AP. The emotion comes though. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tom, appreciate the read and compliment. 😉👍
This poem is beautifully heartfelt, capturing the bittersweet emotions of saying goodbye. The mix of love and longing is so genuine, and the line "I’ve got your smile in my heart" is incredibly touching. The promise of eternal love and the hope of being remembered with a smile adds a layer of warmth and depth. It’s a truly beautiful piece that lingers in the heart.
Thank you Cloie for the positive feedback on my poem. 😉👍
The past lives; I know. In 71 my aunt left for N.J. and I’ve only ever seen her a handful of times since then, 3 or 4 perhaps. Now we look at the the past lives as well (homographs, per recent poem; but not homophones). 🙏🏻👍🏻🕊
Thanks arqios for you reflection on my poem. I appreciate your insight. 😊
You’re welcome 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊️
