Again

Its Raskolnikov

I can still remember the day,

That day you blew me away,

We were in a hurry to leave,

You leaned over and said,

"Great job, love, you did fantastic!"

Then you kissed me,

 

The world stopped,

Love won the battle,

Despite our innocent sin,

The sin that you were with him, 

But you were on your toes so your oral love could meet my cheek,

You made me weak,

Could you do it again?

 

We went our ways still being friends, 

Not speaking of our bliss,

But in the end,

We knew it was more than just a kiss,

It was that way for two days,

'Til we put Romeo and Juliet to shame once again, 

 

Finally a day of expression,

With all the band in session,

Then we dined and refined our smiles,

Now on to all the fun in the park,

I hesitated, 

You made our paces one, 

'Til we rode and walked in the dark,

 

We made our way back on the bus,

We talked; you, me, and friends,

Then I stroked your cheek to comfort you in your sleep,

You thanked me in a most generous lust,

Could you do it again?

 

Two days more and we were back in class to learn about chemistry,

But now a different kind than before,

We saw the beautiful tapestry,

Life's frame, golden to the core,

The thing we call love,

 

We were both still broken, 

Neither sure the feeling was returned,

So we went on in the sin,

Kept sulkin',

Afraid to be burned,

But you were still with him,

 

That Tuesday you had ended it,

No more need for the sin, 

We had fallen with each other,

Got cuts and bruises much deeper than skin, 

I said, "Te quiero mucho",

You asked what I meant,

So I translated it,

And you held my hand,

Could you do it again?

 

Twisted lips let the wrong words out,

Everyone started believing we were together,

But no one could kill your new independence,

But to my surprise you said you loved me too,

Even in that bad of weather,

Was it true?

 

You said you were too torn from the fight,

He had killed you from the inside,

He may have loved you and you loved him,

But it was always full of doubts,

He had cut you with his use of another lover,

He had beat you with his angry words,

He saw your dreams and thoughts unreachable and unreasonable,

He made you feel pointless shame,

No love meant to be will ever last that way,

And you said the pain,

It was too much to love again,

But you did anyway,

 

You said all we needed was each other,

It was a confusing love,

But you said we didn't need those titles anyway,

That our love would be enough,

In the end,

Could you say it again?

 

We went on being friendly lovers,

I knew it was meant to be,

We said to each other,

"Lay with me,

Love me for eternity",

And we agreed,

Could we do it again? 

 

We spoke of adventures yet to be,

Just you and me,

Going anywhere and everywhere to see what there is to see,

We still have past strife,

But I know what this can be,

Cause you're the love of my life,

 

Then we got together for a little laugh,

With a few friends,

But mainly you and me,

We were sitting outside watching the beauty,

In the warmth of the fire and softness of the swing,

I held you,

And for once I felt free,

You asked,

"Never let go of me",

 

I never dreamt it like this,

A totally new reality,

But I knew you had meant it,

And I love your bliss,

Then came the moment to say goodbye for a short time,

And you hugged me and gave me your kiss,

Could you do it again?

 

Then we talked every night,

Even 'til dawn, 

But we never did fight,

But we did struggle,

 

If love is magic,

There are no muggles,

 

We ran the same pattern all the time,

But it never really got old,

And I'm sorry but I'll have to rhyme,

Love is a ticket but it can't be sold,

It can get you anywhere,

But you have to care,

And I did and do, I swear,

 

I have no regrets,

But I knew when you said it wasn't true, 

That you were wrong, 

Cause I still love you,

And I know you do too,

 

I can still remember the day you blew me away,

All the nights that we did nothing but enjoy our time,

All the glorious days when you grabbed my hand,

All the sparkle that I know I brought to your eye,

And all of your love and laughter that filled my life,

And the night I held you in my arms,

And the times I caressed your head with my hands,

And how our love seemed to be the greatest of bands,

And now I ask you,

Not if you could,

Cause I know you would,

But why do you think it has to end?

  • Comment from author about the poem: To a love meant to be for eternity and the one who thrills and kills me so. I began writing this about two to three weeks ago but decided to finish it and wrote the majority of it today. P.S. I will write poems that aren't about love but am in a loving mood right now.

    Wow! Did u miss anything out?

    • Its Raskolnikov

      Ha, yeah actually. I left quite a bit out but not because I wanted to but cause love is it's own poetry.

        Nice, and maybe it doesn't have to end.

      • charlesbarrett

        I enjoyed this one. Loved the repetition of “could we do it again?” to emphasize the love. We never want those feelings to end. Hope yours doesn’t have to. Keep writing.
