inescapeable

i try to escape it, but your memory stays
<P>i cling to it, but still try to run away</P>
<P>your memory is all thats left since you've been gone</P>
<P>i think about them all the time, and how things went wrong</P>
<P>i thought that i'd forgoten about all that we were</P>
<P>i've moved on, but i was never quite sure</P>
<P>i realize now that i still love you</P>
<P>with all your imperfections, and everything you do</P>
<P>but i have realized it all too late</P>
<P> because i'd already met my fate</P>
<P>you have moved on, so now i must to</P>
<P>but it'll never be the same without you</P>
<P>i miss the passion and the love that i felt</P>
<P>and the way your smile made my heart melt</P>
<P>i've tried to recapture it, but its lost to me</P>
<P>all i can think is what we'll never be</P>
<P>i miss the spontaneous moments we shared</P>
<P>and how much you told me you cared</P>
<P>i miss the moments when time stood still</P>
<P>and eachother was all we could feel</P>
<P>i miss the way you made me breathless</P>
<P>and how everything was right, but still senseless</P>
<P>i miss the time where we ran off into the trees</P>
<P>and how your kiss me made me weak in the knees</P>
<P>i miss the times where you sang in my ear</P>
<P>and your voice was all i wanted to hear</P>
<P>i miss the long conversations on the phone</P>
<P>i miss NEVER feeling alone</P>
<P>there are so many things i miss about you</P>
<P>but i can never go back no matter what i do.</P>

Wow, that's totally...I think everyone who's ever had they're heart thrown back at them will read this and go 'I've been there'. It's great, it has a nice flow to it, put empahsis in all the right places.

I really loved this! I love how you were able to seperate your memories of this person, while at the same time able to keep the poem in one steady stream of thought. I've said this many times, and I feel that love poems are the hardest to write. I, myself, have some difficulty with it - but you...you are a great poet. I look forward to reading more from you! Great job.
