May I Still Miss You? Poem by Cathleen Hodgkinson
May I Still Miss You?
May I still miss you....even now...once in a while?
I promise that you'd never know.
I vowed my silence to you...forced to let you go.
My efforts of intentions sent.
My pleas of authenticity ignored.
It was easier for you to disdain me.
The one true thing...perhaps you were too afraid to know.
As all lost time has turned into memory.
So fast the lone hours fly by.
The world, our lives, the universe, the seasons ever changing.
Each day has taken me farther away from where you are.
I live my life as expected, I still live life from my heart.
When a reminder of you suddenly takes my breath...sadly,
To fathom I'll never see you again, for there is no someday, no hope.
In the secrecy of another tear shed.
It was all in the way you held me close.
May I still miss you...even now...once in a while?
I promise that you'd never know.

It's beautiful Cathleen but as a Christian I believe that death isn't the end. And our affections are not limited to those presently available, even when someone has gone ahead of us to the afterlife.
Hi Cathleen, You have created such a beautifully written piece..you paint the perfect words that bring this poem to life, remarkable poet.....stunning! ! ! *10* best wishes Jon
'I promise that you'll never know' leaves me a bit confused. One would think you'd most certainly share this passionate message with the object of your intense affection! Best wishes.
Never stop.. living from your heart. Never stop.. believing in fairy tales.. Never stop.. looking up at the moon... Never stop....
As if you feel hesitant and not sure of missing your love one Cathleen.... nevertheless, loving someone even if not letting him know it must be flowing like spring into the ocean! A 10.
