Poetry: Living in the now

by K.D. Storm

Created on: February 11, 2009

You Told Me To

Your name still lives on the tip of my tongue,

I'm still rattled when you're near,

My heart still wishes you were here.

I still love you like no other,

But I'm moving on like you told me to,

Living the life I use to dream I'd live with you.

My soul is nothing more than sparlking pieces,

The result of your saying goodbye.

All the hopes I had blew away like ashes in the wind,

And even though my eyes fills with tears at the thought of the love you never returned,

I'll still be strong as I move on like you told me to.

I use to think you were scared,

That deep down inside you cared too.

You just needed time.

Now I know it was just wishful thinking,

That I was just living a lie.

So I've finally given in,

I've given up on what I thought you wanted,

Becoming the person I was meant to be.

In time I'll put the pieces back together,

Find that one who will cherish what I have to give,

Leaving behind all those sweet memories of the two of us,

Just like you told me to.
