Notebook Poem by Oscar Robles

I sit here writing with tears in my eyes
Reflecting on words we have said
Watching 'The Notebook', a movie she loved
With thoughts of her in my head
She once asked if there was such a Love
Like Ellie's and Noah's portrayed
I've always thought there was at one time
Times I long that could be replayed
They loved and they argued, argued and loved
Told each other things on their mind
Never giving up, they lost and they found
A love long lasted and unkind
He wrote her letters, like the ones I do
To remind her of what they once had
Not perfection or money or what others might want
But a love through good times and bad
She finally made a choice after finding one better
Whom she thought would give her those things
A choice even after she gave him her love
Offered a life and big rings
But her heart led her elsewhere
To where it belonged
The man who's heart she once took
So she asked is there really a love like that
We could've written our own 'Notebook'
