Poems From Inside Me

Love Poem

Right Now We Are Halfway Home

Has it really been that long ago

That you now think of me and do not know

If you had ever felt real love for me

Could that all have been cast away upon the endless sea?

The loss had pained me for the first few years

Though I was too tough to shed any tears

Now when I think about the time that’s passed

Regret is the only emotion that seems to last

You were so smart and lovely, sweet and kind

I may have had my chance but I was young and blind

I couldn’t see that you really cared

You were perfection and I was young and scared

But now in truth I realize we have both moved on

Though that doesn’t mean the pain is gone

How could I forget and join to a different soul

When you were once all I needed to feel whole

I would have given you the moon above

Or climbed ten mountains for your love

I suppose though you must have grown and changed

In all the years we have been estranged

I also think if you were here and I laid eyes on you

I would not have the mind to know what to say or do

So let’s just stay apart, we are already halfway there

Halfway to heaven where once more we shall love and care
