He Wanted To Go But Decided To Stay And Live Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

He Wanted To Go But Decided To Stay And Live

Rating: 5.0


He wanted to go but decided to stay and live
Many disappointments and heartaches
When love was deep he couldn't help but forgive

He wanted to go but decided to stay and live
He stayed to keep his promise to her
Not that in love he still believed

When love was deep he couldn't help but forgive
He found out she had a different personality
Lots of misunderstandings making him grieve

He wanted to go but decided to stay and live
He didn't understand why she couldn't understand his pure intentions
Sometimes he didn't know who she was even

He realised others in life had no advice to give
The pain of the advisers misunderstandings replayed in perpetuity
When love was deep he couldn't help but forgive
He wanted to go but decided to stay and live

At times defensive and even denying spirit Being indifferent makes him feel misunderstood How to bridge this gap and help him That communication is very integral in relationship I know not how to tell him... thanks a lot for staying Thanks a lot for being mine...

He found out she had a different personality She sticks to him only because he found her different Lots of misunderstandings making him grieve All created by you yourself indeed Still she expects something good can workout best But knows not how to end his grieve Identifying him in disguise makes him nervous.....contd..

He stayed to keep his promise to her Not that in love he still believed Just like she believed in him always Even though he never uttered to her She waited expecting to see him someday Though neither she saw, or converse like others do She still trusted him to be true one for all Longing to see him someday Waiting to meet as real being Beyond horizon beyond misunderstanding Just the you and me in true essence.

When love was deep he couldn't help but forgive He found out she had a different personality Lots of misunderstandings making him grieve// if anyone can understand the own misunderstanding then it becomes easy to express the apology, forgiveness and words of reunion/// beautiful poem penned// and the note- Love is a compromise of two free souls.// yes I think so

Exceptionally nice work! Thanks for sharing. The feelings ran deeply throughout, and I loved the repeated, emphasized line.
