A piece of paper floating in the air
Carried by the gentle breeze
A simple letter of goodbye
Try to understand me please
The time we had together
Will always stay in my heart
Even though it was beautiful
The time has come to part
I know it hurts a lot
But you will learn to forget
Go on with your life
Love again without regret
I kindly ask you to
Remember me with a smile
For the good times we
Had, if only for a while
I wish for you my dear
that your future will be bright
and you will find another
to share each and every night
A piece of paper floating in the air
Carried by the gentle breeze
A simple letter of goodbye
Try to understand me please

Where are you going... dont leave her (MPS) Very good write. Heartbrake gold! Fiction?
Yes Renzi, it is fiction. They braked and then the heart broke. 🙂
Very good emotion laden write.
Thanks a lot G, I tried to get some emotion into that one!
Interesting that both Kat and Renzi assumed that you wrote the note rather than found it. I wasn't sure, but either way it is a fine poem, Fred! Very touching.
Thanks Louis, you brought up a good point. I could have found it! And you are also right, I do remember when I wrote it, the first thought was that piece of paper floating in the air. While many poems here are written from personal experience, I usually consider myself more of an outsider looking in.
For me you were picking up litter - public spirited soul that u are - and discovered the masterpiece here included. A lovely tragic combination of a rubbished love affair now a piece of windblown trash. Take away the first two and last two lines of your piece and its impact goes, but they're there and its VERY powerful.
Hey thanks b-e! U are right. The first two and the last two lines could be taken away, but then it would be less mysterious.
Lovely written Fred. I always I love to read you. In the beginning I was scared by the title because I thought you were leaving. Maybe you are leaving someone or someone left you?
Thank you Malu! It is all imagination. I am not going anywhere, and I am definitely not leaving my wife of 40 years! Don't know what I would do without her!
Happy to know that.
Now I took it that you received the letter and the poem is about its contents. either way its a super piece of writing.
Thanks Michael, I did not receive it, I found it, somewhere in my imagination!
whats in your view finder? anything good. I love the printed word. I don't want to dig a hole I cant climb out of.sometimes imagination is tricky
Would tell you if I knew. You are right, imagination can be tricky, and mine is usually all over the place.
we read us even in turmoil because were both true men. I know I'm not a quitter. I don't think you are either
shall we proceed?
