As I sit down here , Motionless on the soft sofa couch , Multitude of thoughts float in my mind , Thoughts of when we were together , I pay close attention , To the sounds outside , The playfulness of the children , Reminding me of the same playfulness , That we as adults experienced , As I sit down here , Watching the woman on the tele , She reminds me of you , Reminding me that I was missing , Missing an Angel , Reminding me , Of how we had great times , And the happiness , That filled my heart , When we were together , Now turns to sadness and surrow , Having lost an Angel , As I sit down here , Writing these verses , Verses that portray your beauty , Your laughter fills my ears , A laughter that is missed so much , As I sit down here , I try to forget you , Why you ask ? Why , The answer is painful , As is our separation , When I think of you , My heart is struck , With an arrow , And the pain flows in me , Pain of having missed you , But I cannot help it , Sweet memories of you , And our existence together , Always rush into my mind , Sending shivers up my spine.
Reason for writing:
This i wrote after i moved here to kilkenny . After I moved here there was this girl I met . I was friends with her for some 2 years and still am . She lived 45 mins away but she came to kilkenny here in Ireland every two weekends or so .I grew to like her.I made my mind to ask her to go out with me one weekend . However I couldn't do it . I dunno know why , i tried my best , i gave her indirect small hints but she thought i was playing around with her as a friend . She never thought i was so serious . She then left to go back to her home .One week later i called her to see if she was coming that weekend . She said no cause she just got a new boyfriend to my sadness . She said she was gonna spend the weekend with him . I was too late . Now she has not come to visit me in about 6 months . However I still call her . Everytime though she brings up her boyfriend which then fills me with some pain . People reading this might think this is a love poem and that maybe it was written by someone who was in a relationship . Yes this is a love poem but it is the love i had for this girl as a friend and even more . It shows that after some years , I still have the love for her that i had before. It shows the great times we had as friends and yet I would think we were lovers with all those great times .
