So long, my love
I'm leaving not because of you
But of a dream
That I spent a lifetime pursuing
And it will die if I stay
As it is more important to me than love
So long, dear
I will never lose the vision of yr face
When I am old and writing my memoir
I will be reminded of the times we have
Like watching the stars fall
Or reading tea leaves to see the outcome
But my ride is coming
And I have new adventures to conquest
I hope you'll understand that I want to be free
Sometimes it is hard to choose between love and dream yet there are times that we can have them both without sacrificing the other. A wonderful poem.
LeeAnn, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR JOURNEY TO LIBERTY! An excellent bittersweet poem. Beautifully conveyed in your inimitable style.
Excellent poem, very heart rending between two opposing lures.
Freedom is so important in life. Sometimes, a goodbye is inevitable however sad it is.
Breakup is painful but sometimes it's inevitable. Well crafted!
