the one who first stole my heart.
It has been such a long time now
that we have been apart.
When I saw him standing there,
my heart skipped a beat.
I felt a little dizzy,
and unsteady on my feet.
When I looked into his big blue eyes,
the memories began.
Memories of our times together
back when he would reach out for my hand.
I did not know what to say,
so I just hugged him real tight.
Having him in my arms again
felt so very right.
He asked me how I had been doing,
and I told him I was okay.
He said that he was better now,
though for awhile he had lost his way.
We stood there for a silent moment,
I guess each reliving the past.
Remembering a relationship
that some how couldn't last.
Then our silent moment was broken,
when a woman appeared at his side.
He reached out for her hand,
and introduced her as his bride.
I held back my tears,
reached out and shook her hand.
While thinking that I should be the one
wearing his wedding band.
She said they had to be going,
that they had a busy day.
When she walked off he took me in his arms,
and brushed my tears away.
He said, "I still love you,
but I guess it is to late."
Yes, his marrying another
had completely sealed our fate.
I told him I would always love him,
about that I could not lie.
I took his face in my hands,
and forever kissed his lips goodbye. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 197 [topic] => 32 [informant] => ShadowsCloud [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

I Saw Him

I saw him the other day,
the one who first stole my heart.
It has been such a long time now
that we have been apart.

When I looked into his big blue eyes,
the memories began.
Memories of our times together
back when he would reach out for my hand.
I did not know what to say,
so I just hugged him real tight.
Having him in my arms again

This is so sad in a way, yet
deceiving, it's hard when someone
we know we deeply loved steps
back into view if only for a few seconds
and how the memories flow, this also
shows a bit of temptation for adultry
on his part, as the kiss should have
never happened, but that's just my
opinion if this was real, Thanks
for sharing this one

This poem is very real. I know I shouldn't kissed him, but it wasn't really planned. Besides I would NEVER consent to being some ones mistress. I believe marriage is too sacred for that. I don't want to be the other woman anyway. I want a man of my own. And I am very much in love with some one else, whom I am trying to build a relationship with, and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that. Thanks for yout comment.

This is excellent Candice,

I'm not looking forward to when this inevitably happens to me in the future with the one I love still! But I guess it could give me some kind of closure, does it?? Please say yes it does!!

With love
Dean:-)

Dean, yes for me at least it has brought me closure. It has also made me feel like I should really go for it with the guy I love now. Running into the guy this poem was about was kind of painful at first because he was not only and ex-boyfriend, he was my ex-fiance. It kind of hurt to see him married to someone else especially when I'm not even in a relationship right now. But I think that it was for the best because it has driven me to follow my heart instead of listening to the doubts I have in my head. In my heart I doubt nothing about the man I love. Thank you for your comment.
