Favorite Quote:
"The more you're like yourself, the less you're like anyone else, which makes you unique." - Walt Disney


The smile I once wore,
The laugh you once adored
Has all been drained
Because of a night you spent without me
And replaced with her
Our union together; no longer pure
You used to look into my eyes,
And see a small glow of light
Now you look into my eyes,
And see that I’m crying inside
What happened to you and me?
I thought we were truly happy
In a world that felt so serene
But that perfect dream,
Was soon shattered by reality
All the memories run through my mind
I can’t help but ask myself why?
Every moment we spent together
Was like some sort of fairytale,
That I hoped we’d be stuck in forever
Soon the denial worn off,
And the truth was told
That moment I knew,
I would continue without you onward
Now there is this feeling
That has crept upon me unexpected
I can’t believe it went on this long
Without being detected
This feeling I cannot shake,
The hurt I cannot fake;
Because you abandoned what we had,
And now it’s hers to take.
All the signs were there,
All the clues too,
Was I blind?
No, I was just in love with you.

The author's comments:
My inspiration to write this poem came from a real life experience of losing my first love.
This poem is the first of many I’ve written, and I must admit also my favorite. This poem in particular is my favorite because of how much meaning there is behind it. It really captures that moment of how I felt when I was writing this and, expresses how I felt at certain moments during the relationship.
There are 3 versions of this poem. The original, Version B and Version C. Pretty much everything is same, except some revisions, or added lines. Nothing too major, but each has it’s own different changes, therefore I made it into individual versions.
This one that is shown is Version B.
