Love Sonnet LXXXIX

....no regrets, but why can't I forget

Love Sonnet LXXXIX

 

 

I know it’s strange, perhaps

even a bit psychotic, but,

I’m still in love with you.

I know, it’s been a while,

 

over 50 years, since you said

goodbye. All I do know is

that you haunt my dreams

with the taste of your lips

 

and the sass of your hips as

you walked into my life. One

of my flannel shirts you wore

 

over naked skin, still holds your

Shalimar scent. Yaraa, I wish I

knew how to forget your smile.

Wow! 50 years is is almost a lifetime of missing someone you love dearly… but if it’s a joy for you, then it’s perfectly fine
Lovely emotional writing, the feeling prevails…

No Betty, not a joy, a haunting. Keeping a promise I made and remembering why I made it. It's a promise that keeps me honest about what kind of man I want to be.

Thank you Betty for your very kind words.
