Array ( [sid] => 178483 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Only By Distance [time] => 2014-06-06 11:53:50 [hometext] => wrote this poem for a guy i knew and loved for 9 yeas who stopped talking to me and everyone else he knew about a year ago. due to a new girlfriend. [bodytext] => I don't wait up at night anymore hoping that you will text me in the dead of the night when you are feeling alone.
I no longer dream of the day that you will remember me and finally come home.
I no longer call your number just to hear your voice.
I no longer read your letters that you use to write me, so long ago.
I no longer look up your picture to see your face.
I no longer hold my pillow tight closing my eyes and imaging your embrace.
No. I am no longer sad that I have lost you.
Lost such a dear friend.
I am no longer sad that I don't hear from you.
I am no longer sad that the man I truly love, after eight years has forgotten my name.
No.. I am happy.
I am happy because
I have never seen you so happy, then I have seen you with her.
A happiness that I have only found with you.
A happiness that I.. Just couldn't give you.
Yes I cry.. It still hurts that your gone.
Like when I turn on the radio and I hear that song. Darling. But darling be free and darling be well. For a short time I had you. As long as the song,
But darling its over.
I can't get you back.
No matter how I try.
So stay happy my love.
In her arms I do pray.
That where ever your happy, I hope darling you'll stay.



God how I wish those words were true.
No.. All I ever think about is you.
Every day since you iileft.
I text you knowing I won't get a respond.
I call you knowing you won't pick up. And that I won't hear the sound, of your voice.
I have your picture on the wall next to all your letters. That I read when I feel alone.
And My pillow holds all the tears I cry.
You've taken everything from me.
But you can't take away a memory.
Even my dreams can't forget you.
Forget how we use to be.
I will love you forever.
And how I pray that someday you will forget her and remember me.
Yes I hope your happy and I hope you stay that way.
But how can you be so happy..
She's taken you away.
From me. From your family..
I can't change your mind.
But as long as it takes.
I'll be here for you.
I'm prepared to wait.
