Poem : " Why wouldn't I ? "
It's been a while since I've seen you,
Yet you're always on my mind,
Although you've severed the ties,
Leaving memories we made behind.
Why wouldn't I yearn to see your radiant face again ?
Why wouldn't I crave to hear your honeyed voice ?
Why wouldn't I ache to hold your gentle hand once more ?
Why wouldn't I long to drown in the spark of your eyes ?
I would not lie,
With a sigh,
I'll tell you why,
I can't say Goodbye.
When flowers in my garden bloom,
They whisper of your care.
When I listen to a song I love,
Your soft voice fill the air.
When I gaze at the night-lit sky,
I feel you lying close and near,
Pointing to stars as they shimmer high,
Your scent, a trace that forever stays dear.
You have moved on,
Forgotten me, Forsaken me - for good.
But I have held on,
Cherishing every part of you.
When I lay and close my eyes,
Your warm smile soothes my weary scars.
I cling to these moments, soft and wise,
Oh, why must my heart reach for the stars ?
