So Long, Goodbye

For so long I tried
Comprehending who you had become
And to stop missing
The person I once loved

For so long I feared
I would never get over you
And that the ghost of our past
Would forever haunt my future

For so long I cried
Praying for the memories to fade
And hoping I would forget what we shared
Like you have forgotten me

For so long I wondered
Why I couldn't let go
And why you still held
A piece of my broken heart

For so long
I put myself through hell
And couldn't figure out why
But today an epiphany made everything come full circle

I finally realized what was wrong
Looking back on it all, my dear,
You never fought for me
Never once did you put up a fight

Instead you walked away
Just as quietly as I did
And actually, I fought for our friendship
More than you fought for our relationship

I have said all I can
Any other words
And you don't care to listen
You have moved on

Now its my turn
Not only to move on
But to embrace love and to relish
In the amazing new relationship I am in

So goodbye my dear

We may still be able to be friends
But I am putting our love in the past
For I am finally
Finding the peace through all of the pain

Love

Love No other little four letter word Has ever meant so much Or, to some, so very little You see I believe Everyone thinks of love At least once in their so called Meaningful existence But their opinion of love Is as different and unique As the tips of their very fingers Some think of love And see the whole nine yards A husband and family Standing behind that freshly painted White picket fence So often only dreamed about Others think of love And can't help but to picture Themselves forever burning In the pits of hell itself For they have come to believe That to be in love is to be in hell Many manage to find A median between the two extremes They believe that their perfect person Is out there to be found But at the same time Understand that they may never meet Or live their happily ever after dream But I . . . I think of love And all I can do is picture you Because in you I've found All the love and meaning I'll ever need to make my life co...

Wedding Day

No flowers, No music, No food Last minute, thrown together plans Standing on a stage platform In front of a play's heaven Small and intimate Sixteen people in attendance The couple and a pastor Who baptized them both Short and sweet Fifteen minutes of talking No objections And only a couple of mistakes Two small rings, A heartfelt prayer, And the exchange of vows To legalize the contract Nothing extravegant To join a man and woman As husband and wife But it embodied the perfect symbol For the simple love of a young couple Eager to begin the rest of their lives
