An Echo In The Wind Poem by juliet sinclarie

We were once the youngest of toddlers
Playing recklessly without concern
But how the tides have changed
What I had is now what I yearn

We were the best of friends
I loved him to no end
But as the days passed by
It was getting harder and harder to pretend

The truth was I was in love
With the plaid boy next door
Our friendship was unique
But it grew to be much more

We dated for a few
It was the happiest years of my life
We gave everything to each other
And he even asked for me to be his wife

You see, it was everything I wanted
But he was meant for so much more
I wanted him all to myself
But he had so much more to explore

He was a special man
He stood out from all the rest
He was so selfless at times
And that's why he was truly the best

This man had a destiny to fulfill
And I was only standing in his way
He said he would do anything for me
But I couldn't possibly ask him to stay

The day came when he left my side
It was a cold and gloomy night
I still remember that day so clearly
I held onto him with all my might

It was the last I've ever saw of him
The last study of his face
But it doesn't really matter because the
Memories is not something I can erase

My heart bruises easily
As I sit alone late at night
But I often reassure myself
Because I know that I'll be alright

Nothing has really changed
Nothing that I can see
Even though he's not here right now
I still feel his presence next to me

The story of our love
Is an endless story never to be lost
I don't know if I will ever see him again
But I always keep my fingers crossed

My heart is slowly adjusting
To continue life without that charmer
But I know that I will not be in this alone because
He will always be my knight in shining armor
