The One Poem by Casey Gochnour

Now that it's finally over, I don't know what to say,
Thoughts cloud my mind as I'm living through the day.
Thoughts of you and only you, you're the only one they're worth,
My love, my romance, the woman of my earth.

It seems as though it's been forever although only a day,
An eternity has passed since you've gone away.
I wish it wasn't so, I'd wish you here with me,
I don't feel single, I don't feel free.

I still feel your presence everywhere in my soul,
The one person that could keep my heart whole.
And now it's shattered; gone; torn to pieces,
As the distance between us ever increases.

It's weird, I know, but ever since we split,
I feel closer to you, I can't get over it.
I feel like I never knew what I had before,
There was a beautiful woman knocking on my front door.

I know I did nothing wrong, and neither did you,
But I just feel like if there was something I'd do,
As if, if there was a way to go back,
And make up for the parts that I lack,
Maybe you'd still be here with me.

I know you said not to blame myself,
But trust me it's hard when you have a limited shelf,
Of reasons, with nothing to truly click our love apart,
It was a bold decision made by only your heart.

You haven't gotten away from me yet, baby,
I could turn that no right into a maybe.
Because there's no way I could ever let it be,
Having you be the one who got away from me.

Hannah, you and I still both hold our loves dearly,
And we both know our loves are true, sincerely,
Know that I won't give up, mark my words today,
I won't let you be the one who got away.
