Array ( [sid] => 69332 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => We Forgot How to Love [time] => 2004-10-29 11:44:24 [hometext] => I wrote this poem while I was thinking about leaving my husband, there was a lot of feelings and thoughts going through my mind. [bodytext] => Yesterday’s a memory and forever gone
There’s been so much hurt and maybe I’m wrong
But we haven’t been happy for so many years
It hurts, but I’m now realizing my fears.

It’s time for us to part, time to say good-bye
We can’t change things now even if we try
We don’t talk about our problems, worries or doubts
I’ve tried to tell you but you always shut be out.

It’s hard to say good-bye after so many years
We both deserve happiness, not sadness and tears
The kids are grown, soon we’ll be left here alone
We can’t go on like this with little love ever shown

We have nothing in common, not much to say
We’re more like strangers now, not like our yesterday
Hurt feelings and resentments pulled us apart
Words won’t help now, we both need a new start.

I wish you happiness, love, a purpose in life
I’ll never regret loving you or being your wife
It’s time to move on, time for us to part
Find happiness again and make a new start.

We forgot how to love, forgot how to share
Treated each other like we didn’t care
Forgot the compliments, the little things in life
Forgot how to treat each other like husband and wife.

very touching, and so very sad, you expressed it well although you must have felt some pain while writing this, sometimes it is easy to forget that we are lovers not fighters, i really do hope that you and your husband are getting back on track now and that you can be happy once again,

takecare

brilliant write. powerful and emotional, and very well written. all things come to an end sooner or later, but it was to be what is best for each of you, and separation sounds like it, but talking it out and having him listen might help some things...

hello Thank-you for your comments, they are appreciated.
Sometimes people are too stubborn to change, this poem was written in 2000, we have since gone our separate ways
Married now to a wonderful man from Australia. Sometimes love is better the second time around

I'm glad you two realized what was best for both of you. I wish you the best of luck with your new husband. This was a very touching piece, everyone can relate to it on some level.
