Drinking Buddy

Walking down the street not far She would grab me by the arm And together we’d walk The little stroll Up the street and down stairs below I’ll always regard the togetherness she showed Proudly walking So all would know My possession This would glow My love would never Fail to show Why I left I’ll never know Neither could let love just grow How sad this makes me I’ll never know from time to time I’m reminded so Of what I missed That fate had stole Another lost chance To fulfill a goal If I could I’d go back in time Strengthen the thread That made her mine Make a vow that made it a crime Make sure she’d know The very next time I would not leave her without first dying

Was it maybe for thinking of her as a possession that things went sour? There are a lot of fish in the sea, however, so hope you get a good catch

I think people who say, "To love and lose is better than never to have loved at all," need to read these words.

the bitterness that comes with regret runs deep in your poem. The poem isn't harsh or bitter, just softly romantic. I identified with your words...enjoy your day, Sara

The bittersweetness of this situation resonates in a beautifully melancholic and yet tenderly romantic manner. Her heart was shattered by your departure, leaving behind an indelible mark of sorrow.

Aw this is sweet somber but in a romantic way. I bet she was heartbroken you left.
