In the middle of the road
I stop
I stare
At the bridge
And trees and cars
And at the crowds walking past
Looking for a familiar face
For your smile
For your gaze
For your arms open wide
But
Deep down I know
That you are gone
And I know
You don’t realize
I want you back so much
So many things
I wanted to do
So many words
I wanted to say
But was too afraid to let go then
In case you judged me
But
You judged me anyway
For things I’d done
Out of loneliness
Out of your fear
For me to be gone
You let me let you go
Although I wanted to stay
Please let me say
I love you, still.

Love is a spiritual experience that affects us profoundly and it's effects linger long after the source of stimulation is gone. It is whimsical and temperamental, coming unannounced and may leave without warning, if not carefully nurtured by both couples. A well articulated piece of poetry nicely penned from the heart. A lovely poem indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
