You Were Never A No Poem by Susan Lacovara

You Were Never A No

Rating: 5.0


As hard as it is
Stepping away
Take with you this
You were never a No
What we shared remains
Unmistakably real
Though never realized
Had you told me
I would move on
I would have told you never
You were never a No
But circumstance shifts
Wisdom takes hold of my hand
Blueprints are altered
Leading to new construction
Would I have ever imagined
On some Sunday
Somewhere in time
I would let go of your hand
With a promise to always
Wave your way
I would've laughed off the idea
You were never a No
With the kind exchange
Of understanding
Admitting we had not one regret
You wish me happiness
As I hold back a goodbye
You were never a No

This is such a beautiful poem, I'm speechless in admiration...This is such a bitter sweet poem, I'm filled with emotion... The poem shows that even when a relationship fails, there is love connecting the couple like an electric current that won't stop but keeps generating good will and appreciation - which the refrain YOU WERE NEVER A NO verifies. This is the ambiguity of love which your poem captures so beautifully. It fills me with the purest emotion. There; s nothing more I can say.
