Poem : I will forget you someday

89

By prettydarkhorse

I will forget you someday

You said “Hi!”

I said “Yes?”

You asked “What is your name?”

I asked, “But why?”

I felt so stupid

I am just curious”, you said

Then I gave you my name

My name is Lyera


Thank you“, you responded

Then added, “What a beautiful name!”

I looked at you

You were the first person to tell me that aside from my mother“, I said

I said “Thank you” and bowed my head

You said “Can I have your number?“

But why, isn’t my name enough?, I don’t give them to strangers

I am not a stranger anymore, my name is Othie,” you said

And so?” I responded

You laughed at me

Are you angry or mad” you asked

I said, “No, why should I be

You just shook your head and you smiled at me

I felt I am a weird and smiled back

You have a beautiful smile, and I like your eyes

They are big black eyes and are penetrating, lovely” you said again

Okay here is my number”,  I said and smiled back

See all 4 photos

That was the beginning

Of a love I once experienced

A love that was so pure

So intense and so warm

I thought it would last forever

I was just dreaming

I woke up this morning

And I touched my bedside

I though I felt something there

But you were gone

All that was left was my love and the memories

Bitter sweet memories

That’s all there is to it

How is it that love could be so easy

And forgetting is too long

How is that when I look everywhere

Your memory is still here

And you continue to haunt me

Maybe one day, I can forget you

Like I forget how many winters passed by

Surely the spring will give me hope

Until next summer again

By then I shall have forgotten you!

Great poem, Maita. Letting go is not easy, because if it was, then the the entire relationship was insignificant. Sunny days are just ahead :)

It's true, Maita... I like that line, "Love could be so easy and forgetting is too long." How could that be? Hmmm...I really like to blurt it out now, but I can't. It's a long story to tell. My husband might stumble across this comment of mine.

Thanks for sharing. Nice poem, Maita... I love it!

Haunting memories, they come and go. Rather than forgetting, it's better to concentrate on now, and on making now as sweet as you can. Peace, PDH

*sigh* you just made me remember a love lost and Joey Albert's song - I Remember the Boy, But I Don't Remember the Feelings Anymore. Hope it will be like that with you - you won't forget but you won't feel the pain anymore. Lovely poem Maita. :)

Maita is a very beautiful name. There nothing as painful as the anguish of the heart. Oh, I've been right there, dear. I pray your heart is healed and that you are comforted.

Great poem Maita! Boy, isn't it hard to forget sometimes. Especially if you are still exposed to the things that use to have meaning when you were a couple. Like the smell of his cologne, favorite meal, and etc. But, there is one thing that will make you forget that person and that is a new love. :)

It has to be better to have loved and lost.

Otherwise we live in the dark all the time.

I guess a past love can even cast some illumination at times.

Thanks for dropping by "my place".

Thanks for the kind words.

Another Sweet Poem, Sweet Maita. Yes, memories are forever, yet I feel that such encounters should be committed to verse and song. I wrote a little song about one with a message. I know that you will understand.

'Silent Invitation'

My sweetest Kaibigan...

First time I stop to read your poems! What a beautiful and a sad thing at the same time! Why, life can be so hard sometimes, but you learned and you grew inside! Love will come. Do not seek for it, it will kneel before you, when you let go! Trust me, deary!

Thumbs up!

Warmest regards and infinite eternal blessings,

Al

Very Nice Maita.. bit of a dark horse with poetry huh? We have all been here and it's ok to give your heart away.. But Not your phone number lol. And as far forgetting is concerned..forget it! Don't punish yourself, love is not designed to be a power to forget. That is what determines the depth of the emotion. Thanks for sharing PDH. Take care.

when I read " I thought it would last forever

I was just dreaming

I woke up this morning

And I touched my bedside

I though I felt something there

But you were gone"

I got chills up my spine. . .this was so beautiful Maita. . thanks for sharing this one. Rated up and beautiful .. truly it is a beautiful read.

I hope love will heal you completely, Maita, wrap you up in its fickle arms and take you to a better memory. To love and have been loved, sweet. Your poem is beautifully expressed.

You have a talent Prettydarkhorse, for writing exactly what you need to write so your reader can join you in your special and intimate journey - I loved the way you used dialogue and so cleverly and convincingly - I was there when you met and I heard the words too and felt how you felt . . . so I know now how you feel since this love stopped . . . except it hasn't has it PDH - it is still there - in your heart and in your heart's memories, all the ones you shared with all of your friends who read your words.

Thank you - I am wondering though; your poetry is beautiful but have you ever thought of writing this love-experience as a story? There is novel there and I would read it for sure.

Maita - well he was only speaking the truth - you do have a beautiful name! And no mater how you felt when he left, you were able to experience that wonderful feeling of love. You gave that love and from so much I have read your work, are a very loving person. You only lost that one guy. But you still hold that love in your heart. You win!

Just the title was enough to summon deep emotions. It's sad to have someone pass through your life who so profoundly impacted you yet because of all our human failings cannot be there forever. Maybe forever is something that should be discarded... that way we can make today important.... I wonder if I've been forgotten... I can assure you that he won't forget you...

Wow Prettydarkhorse , this is great !, And interesting. Always being a shy person , I thought, Its so easy for a woman to love. All she has to do is say ,yes! I think it's different for a guy . Maybe it's just me! But I love this poetry.

Not to dash your hopes of forgetting, but it's been 20 years and I still remember her. The way she smiled, the way she smelled, the way she made me feel. It fades a bit, but it's still there like a shadow that won't leave your side. It fades in the darkness, but it's always still just behind you.

Voted up and beautiful.

naturalsolutions Level 4 Commenter 8 months ago

I can feel your pain by your poems, you are one of the girls whose really hard to get. So i believe that you love him so much. And then leave you at the end.

I know someday you will forget him, time heals everything.
