Drifted apart, faded away...

by Matthew Schut   Oct 27, 2011


It has been over a year,
Since we last said our goodbye,
I think back to the memories,
And I no longer cry.

Yesterday I was able to look,
At all of the pictures of you,
I was able to delete all of them,
And know that I am forever through.

What we had felt so right at the time,
Always giggling and laughing together.
I remember when you held me close,
And told me that we would last forever.

Matt, you are the most perfect guy,
It used to mean the world to me.
Now as I sit here and think about it,
I would have never been completely happy.

Love was just not meant for you and I,
I spent too many nights questioning your heart,
Wondering if you felt the same way,
Thinking that we should be apart.

I must admit, you sent me so many cute letters,
You always knew how to put a smile on my face.
I honestly felt like the best boyfriend,
But as time went on, I just needed my space.

Our hearts drifted apart, feelings faded,
A new love we would soon seek.
I tried to hold on as long as I could,
But my heart no longer felt complete.

Maybe we just fell in love with the idea,
Of being with someone for the rest of our lives,
But the longer I stayed with you,
I realized, I no longer lit up your eyes.

With ripped up letters and broken glass,
Realizing that my heart is now through.
I'll wake up tomorrow with a new heart,
Knowing that I'm completely over you.

    A very sad poem, very heartfelt!
    though the twist at the end saying your over her was good
    too me the rhyming seemed quite forced, which made it not flow so well.
    Keep at it!
