I Want You Back Poem by David Harris

I Want You Back

Rating: 5.0


I want you back again
to give things another try,
I’m sure we can learn
from our mistakes the first time around.
We got married in a rush
in the first flush of romance
never waited to get to know
one another that well.
Neither of us wanted to give and take a bit,
our shouting could be heard
half way down the street.
Both of us wanted more
than the other wanted to give,
we never settled on a compromise.
Now I want you back again
to give things another try.
I’m sure it will be better
from the lessons we’ve learnt.
If we walk this time instead of run,
just take one-step at a time,
try and be more tolerant towards one another
I’m sure it will workout
and all we have to do is try.
Do we take another chance
or is this our final goodbye?

Well stated David.. one just has to figure out if a relationship can be repaired and if it can then give it all one's got. Sadly, more often than not, when it gets to the point of deep questioning, it can be too late. It's all about that word 'IF' and another called 'TRY' and also letting go of what we consider to be the breaks... good write... marci.
