"My darling, you're such a child. You think that by saying, "I'm sorry," all the past can be corrected. Here, take my handkerchief. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief." -Rhett


I can feel the empty space in my heart and it flows away with dreams of you.
Its strange that somehow I still feel comfort in all the things you do.
And its strange how my heart beats to find myself upon your love.
So when my time is stolen, I can never hold you long enough.
But i've come to know that this is where I should be,
Standing alone to face this world without you next to me.
Though it hurts, and strangely I falter upon a new way,
My prayers softly wish our paths will cross again some sweet day.
My thoughts drift away to heartache as I lay at night in bed,
So I reminisce on all the good times we shared to bring me joy instead.
I ponder on thoughts of you that put me back in your reach,
And I offer you my heart, to guide, embrace and teach.
Although you make it noted, love is something we do not share,
It is still hard to keep from a vibe my heart feels so deep and rare.
But if my words will not bring you safely back to me,
Remember dear Love is not always something you can see.
For love is something your heart feels, and it something you cannot shake,
Something about its beauty, making your heart break.
I know in quiet times alone, you sit there and think of me,
If only for a second, I make you remember who you want to be.
And something that I said or did, causes you to miss me too,
So for a moment, you wish you would have just told the truth.
But then you realize im not where your heart lies anymore,
And so you find new sources to forget me once more.
The love we had was pure like a snowflake that falls from the cold winter sky,
Unique and fragile Beauty that only lasts a moment, and dissolves in the blink of an eye.
But even if its snows again, the snowflake is never the same.
Beautifully falling in hope to be caught in someones hand, but in the end it always melts away.
And a love like that will never exists and never have the chance to grow,
Its only here for a sweet moment and then dissolves away like snow.
But in my dreams our hearts beat forever as one,
And our precious time together has not yet begun.
In my dreams I hold your hand, and you never let me go.
We walk so peacefully together, everywhere, to and fro.
So for an instant I have your love and I keep it safe with me
But then I wake from my slumber and realize its only all a dream.
As the morning horizon shines through my stained windows,
Something in my heart tells me its time to let you go.
So I watch my hand break apart from yours and it fractures everything within,
I see now our memories are nothing more than a broken promise that we will never be able to mend.
And that’s okay, because with time my shattered heart will heal.
For everyday I am stronger, and I don’t need you to be able to feel.
I don’t fear to lose your love, for I never had it anyway,
But its strange to think that its possible I will forget you someday.
So until that day comes and if we never meet again.
I love you and miss you my love and you have my heart till then.


The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this poem when I was dealing with a heart break. As teens we all go through a first heart break or situation that causes sadness. The poem basically explains that its strange time has slipped away from love, but the narrator still finds herself loving the person who has gone away. But in the end she knows its time to let go, and that someday she will forget. But until she is ready and if they never see each other again she will continue to love the person with all she has. My hopes for this piece is to help express the thoughts of others when they can't seem to find the right words. If they can relate to this poem I hope it helps them realize its okay to love someone who has caused them heart ache, but that its also alright to let go when they are ready because pain doesn't last forever.
