Old Love Poem by Jacob Moore

Memories of laughter rush throughout my mind,
While flashes of what we used to be appear.
From role playing at the part,
To lying in the fresh spring grass.
We were always together.
Then came the start of school,
Even separated our love lived on.
Though soon we learned a life lesson,
The longer the distance the harder it becomes.
Love turned to paranoia,
Trust began to fade.
We fought and we cried,
At least we can say we tried.
After we split loving was tough,
Out of fear that it would happen again.
Eventually you moved on,
I faked a smile and even congratulated you.
Now we just barely talk,
Short conversations about the little things.
At times I think about how life would be,
If you were still here with me.
