Click hereGenerous and loving
Playful and seductive
A sensual being
And for awhile
She was my girl
Together that summer
We played and made love
She hugged me and kissed me
She whispered she loved me
Then turned to board the plane
Together at Christmas
We were closer than ever
Together next summer
And something had changed
She pulled far away
But never said why
Without her three years
No word until now
So many men
Her elegant longhand
Avoiding commitment
Unable to love me
I’m getting to the beast within
Discovering my demons
Ambivalence and boundaries
Self-doubts and self-esteem
From you I learned
I need not give my best
My body and soul
To be liked and be loved
Sad beyond words
My tears stained her letter
Fearful in love she’d lose who she was
Too late she had learned
For us to survive
I’d wanted her best
But not to engulf her
I wanted her heart
Because
For awhile
She was my girl
For awhile
You were my love

kimbaleeabout 16 years agocertainly stirs up emotions, doesn't it? sad, but it happens whether we like it or not.
Gi_Venusover 16 years agoThis played on my memories of love that could not be.
The sorrow that life brings to us in that thing called unrealized love....it lingers in all of us.
Joe Wordsworthover 16 years agoI'm not really very good at reading poetry... just not well equipped to appreciate it.
I liked this, I just didn't really connect to it--more "me" than "you" on that.
