Still Here Poem by Unwritten Soul

Still Here

Rating: 4.5


Back in time
In everything we shared
Wishes, prayers and dreams
I revisit our sealed promises
When your words laid on mine
So do I, wishing for the everlast time
Back in the years of innocence
Return to me, again

Still in my ears
Indulge every second
Listening to the school bell,
Ringing again our memories
With the laugh we've lost now
Heard, for the second time
Still in my eyes
Innocent smiles played
Throw all worries to the wind
Like those moments never end
This minute i wish for seconds
As we can back, stay as children
Carefree, just live the life
And.. it alive again.. today

Oh my dear friend,
Where do you hide your promises
Perhaps times had changed your heart
Till no space in you for our last days
For years not locked it safe inside
In another year, i may gone to you
Still have in me a space, always
Because of past is part of my life
Because the past is my lessons
And because you still a friend

Oh my old friend
Where do you leave our older souls
Trapped in the past and never return
I wont begged you for something lost
Nor i will remind you again
because its not exist in your heart
So the promises wont be found again
As years decay it in the ashes of past
While me just cruelly try to find my way out
In failure to erase our written words
Before decided to let it stay
With me forever

Breathing in older body
We may stand in a far place now
Longer distance is between the hearts
Enough to separate two minds completely

Every life has a story,
Here is my hidden one
Because you never know mine, my dear
For you didn't know how many times
Silently I've endured pains
Secretly i was hurt but never tell
How hard i took each of them
Believing a day lie than decade of me
You gone and back, then return and forget
Still i do forgive with no complain, my dear
Always I'm here, my hands still up for you
Coz we are friends and i still have my promises
Still living with me
Today

Each weakness in you, I know
Convince your strength we covered it
Those our promise i do understand
For us to build dreams one day to be true
O that sweet day was years ago
Before your heart changed
Like the waves come from sea
Then they changed the gulf
But Still here
Wishing you the same
For the life you wanted
May you have it someday

Clearly i am no longer important
Perhaps this is why you will never return
but having the past is not a regret
My path will never break to end my way
You have yours i am taking my own
If miracle happen, you return
I still here with my hands
Just again please understand
The value of my soul
That you once promised
In our years of innocence

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is a poem i did for a story of my own, it was a bittersweet memory of my childhood memories, a write that reminisce of my old friend that we known since we were five. Growing up and raised by the years, maybe the innocent promises between two children changed by the time too. Comparing what we are now, I prefer to have moderate life and my friend more into fun and modern way..but i think that not be a reason why the friendship turn silent, i noticed it since the time we growing up where i have to take all mistakes and take care of other feeling without caring about myself hoping the friendship will always be fine..but now i learned it's not like that, destiny and people hearts never goes as we hope sometimes, just i wanted to do well in life and hope all the best to all friends and my old best friend for their ambitious dream..i have my own too! but i have to learn and to understand that i also need to care my own feeling too sometimes...Just to tell friends here, Never believe a lie and anger just for a day and decide to stop a friendship that was built for more than decade..So writing this will answer my PH friends about me..do i have something to have with the past, regret..i will say NO...it just a part of my life and offers me lesson..while bitter just give me a taste how life taste..Anyway i am Me and i just want be with my soul_Unwritten Soul

What is important is that your heart is great not only for his friend but with everyone. You are different and that is good. LOVE SOUL.

so touching soul. i think the memories of our frienship in our childhood last untill end.because those friendships were so pure, honest, and loyal...we certainly enjoyed of those friendships.we may ache those days but they never come back or if they did, they wouldnt be as enjoyable as those days..so LET THE PAST BE THE PAST.. as we grow older i think our friendship become conservitively.so better live in the moment and try to find another honest friendship. or as you ve said: Having the past is not regret. i ve always regret why those honest friendships do not last.. anyway a combination of sadness, regret(although you say you dont have any regret) , love, ....invaded to my mind.wonderful. by the way i didnt know those words you were saying are the part of a great poem! .~nb

This is such a thoughtful verse. Very little in life in neutral. When innocence goes, it rarely leaves a void. The lucky ones are those who realize that among the replacements is wisdom and maturity. Great verse, Soul.

An emotional write of a loss of a treasured friendship. There is now distance between yourself and this person you care for and your hurt and mourning for what once was is evident in your pen.10+++++
