Never thought that one day I would see you again
Was trying to forget you, bury your memory, when
At a party you parted the masses with your usual flair
Sauntered up to me with a smile and shyly said ‘Hi there’
For years I had lived on the memories of you
I suffered and cried, felt lonely and blue
Never allowed any other to claim my heart
Finally kind of recovered, ready for a new start
I only stared at you, didn’t know what to say
These two little words had taken my breath away
An awkward prolonged silence, thinking of what to do
Until I recovered a bit and squeezed out ‘Oh, it’s you’
You took my arm and asked me to dance
I numbly followed you as if in a trance
But when you held me with your head against mine
All pain disappeared and my world was again fine

Beautiful love lorn write Fred.
Thank you Goldfinch! Just playing around with my imagination.
Obviously a vivid imagination.
A fine write Fred. You would have heard my 'cooeeee' if I had turned up!
Thanks orchi, was looking for you at that party, but was told you left early with two bottles of sherry!
Brilliant, love the kind of hug when you can feel the sadness leaving the body. Thanks for the picture painted in my mind
Thanks PD, and you are welcome!
I been right there with you the one that got away steps back in and all's well. The heart wants what it wants.
Great piece,
Mugsdaddy
Thanks Mugsdaddy, it was well at least for one dance! 🙂 Maybe more...
Oh how this speaks to my memories of my love. I suppose this is my fantasy also. Always wishing to see her face again, and not from just an old photograph. Great write Fred. ; )
Thanks AP, I think we all have a love that got away somewhere in our memory closet.
One of my favorite songs by Nat King Cole went "Love is lovelier the second time around". It certainly seems that way with you Fred. An uplifting ending of a beautiful write.
Thank you Seek! That is a great song!
A beautiful sentimental write!
Thank you Laura, yes, I have to admit it is kind of sentimental.
Good imaginative write Fred , a lovelorn poem conveyed very convincingly ! 😎
Thank you WL, what would we do without our imagination?
It may be imagination but it was a beauty of a write! It's vivid in my mind. Great job!
Thanks so much Christina, I am glad you enjoyed it!
Ah yes, the one that got away, but then returns, and once again and we fall. I say dangerous territory, but the heart never listens, it blindly follows on its own less traveled path. Loved this poem. - Phil A.
Mahalo MF, you are so right. Sometimes the heart seems to have its own way, like it or not.
A masterful exploration of rhyme here, Fred! A touching poem of lost love. Well done!
Thanks Louis! Not so masterful, really, but it was fun to write.
So good love reading your work vary good
