What I Would Say If...

Hello, Baby, it's good to see you.
You look beautiful, of course.
It has been much too long...
How have you been? I think of you
always.

I miss you, but I'm okay. I'm not
sad anymore, really. Just a bit
melancholy and nostalgic at times.
I have only fond memories of you,
always.

I cherish our time together.
It was one of life's most beautiful
experiences. You awakened my
dead soul. For that, I will be grateful,
always.

Tucked in the corner of my heart
is a place for only you. No one else
may have it. It is not for sale. We choose our
vision, sometimes. I have chosen mine,
always.

I probably should be going. Lets
get together soon. You're the
woman by whom all others
shall be judged. I love you,
always.

Awwww... Very honest and romantic approach to "the one that got away" and it came off very well! What I loved most was that it didn't come from a place of longing for an ex, but from a place of someone that's moved on, saw his ex and will always love her. I love the tone.

Good write!

Very honest writing, I like that. A chance meeting with the love that didn't happen can be very painful, as evidenced in the last stanza. good work.

what might have been

i had this conversation the other day, it was ugly and sad and somehow ordinary

It never seems like enough after so much has been shared, does it?

[Emily B]

. she's really lucky, monsieur ... and you're a brave and sensitive and kind and generous gem ... i loved the "tucked in the corner of my heart" stanza especially ... i booked my entire heart for someone ... and that happens to be my greatest joy ... but it wasn't for a long time ... it wasn't till i kept trying to get away ... life is a crazy experience ... sometimes, it lets us get away ... and sometimes it just won't let go ... i have submitted to life ... to its momentum ... and now my momentum is beginning to fuse with it ... and everything has started making sense :) ... just thought i'd share my lessons with you ...
