Our Last Night

by Paul Gondwe   Aug 17, 2011


It has been a while
Last we sank deep
And let our emotions flow

On our first night
We talked of our future
How our love would grow with time
Blossoming in peoples eyes

Now it is our last night
What will I say?
How will I tell you?

Let me hold your hand
A hug to keep you warm
A kiss to ease your mind
Because my words are not satisfying
Nor are they kind

The next few months will be full of misery
I will think of you
How you are faring

I hope I will not cry
Only wish time would fly
Because I will long to be in your arms
To feel your touch
All these I will not have

So on our last night
Let us pretend it is not the last
Even though I will not be there
My love will shelter you
It will be everywhere
Even in the air

Still I have this fear
That you are miserable without me near
So let me make it clear
Even on our last night
I still will assure you
You are the only one I love my dear

    I think this is a lovely write.

    At first when I started to read the poem I felt as if it was about a man who was breaking up with his gf even though they cared about each other, they were not right for each other

    As I read on I knew my initial thoughts were wrong. It is like they loved each other so deeply and were perfect for each other but for some unforseen circumstance, they could not be together

    A bittersweet poem

    Well written
