A love not meant to be

by Tammy - Gemini



As I sit here all alone, 
Thinking of you all day long 
My mind can't help but wonder 
Why we didn't last forever. 
I knew it was the right thing to do 
For we contrasted each other. 
But deep in my heart, I still love you 
And God knows how much I need you. 
Our love . . . sweet and fair: 
In my heart, it will always be there. 
It was delightful and pure 
Very clear and not obscure. 
Our love, I thought, 
had a strong foundation 
For it grew from friendship, 
not infatuation 
unlike others 
It was no physical attraction 
Just plain thoughtfulness and affection. 
And in my heart, the mourning never stops 
For our love, though strong, was defeated 
No! Not by hatred, not by fright 
But by a single word, that is . . . PRIDE.

Reason for writing:

    this was written because it was very inspirational to me. It talks a lot about the way teenagers are with relationships. They are at such a young age being so serious about something that might not even last. It talks about how we loved it while it was going on but somehtimes things just don’t end up working out.
