I
We will be together, one day
As long as I love you
I will keep us together
Even though i am hated
Just for loving you
I think of what
We should be
I hate to be hated, but
I would hate myself
Even more if I
Couldn't love love you
Come close to me
I can't speak what
My heart is saying
So when you leave I can't
Tell you I love you
And you just walk away
I cry to myself
How can I do this
How can i just let you leave
Leave me, my love
And this feeling inside
Never again will I
Just let you go
Not after what happened
Not after the way I ended up
In a dark place
A scary place
One without your love
And I had to live in a lie
I ran to th ends of
That sorry universe
To see if I could find you
To see if there was a place
Where the light shined
Where we could be together
Forever alone
But you weren't there
So i had to leave
Leave that dark place
And go through other
Storms just to find you
To see if there was a place
Where the sun shined forever
I found you, finally
But you had another,
So did I.

Reborn
I wandered through this life
Looking for you
Fianlly I found you again
But you don't know me
I have changed
I remember you
You have changed but that
Smile, I still see in
Your eyes is the one
From a life before
I have searched so long
And now you
Don't know me that well
Not in your mind
But your heart
Oh how it remembers
Remembers the days we had
The days we will have again
Will be better than the last
Just know me
I know you
I was yours so long ago
We were meant to meet
Thats why I'm here
Thats why you have lived here
For so very long
You were free, and still are
And so am i
Now we are together
Just like its supposed to be
I won't let you go
This time,
For now and forever
I love you.

After us
Two cildren walk
Along a dried river bed
They see sun smiling
Off gold
Picking it up they find
Two rings fused together
The girl has seen them
Before there and then
A name she sounds in
Her mind
Christine
The other a title
Orion
The boy puts them into
His pocket and turns,
Takes her hand & says
"Come now Chrissy,
We'll be late"
She turns to him
Remembering his smile
From so many times before
"Yes, we don't want to be late
For our own wedding.
Reason for writing:
One night as I lay down to sleep, I got this idea in my head. I went into the livingroom and started to write. I didn't know what I was writing, and it ended up being a three part poem. The first part is about a lifetime before this one, when I made the mistake of letting my love go.
The second is this life, where I almost made the same the same mistake but caught myself.(i.e. getting over my fear.)
The third part is about a life after this one. Where we didn't falter for a second in our love.
Well I will stop babbling now.
