For months, I've played this game
Acting like it doesn't hurt
Each time I hear his name

Ignoring what's inside of me
Pretending I've moved on
As if the feelings I once had
For him are somehow gone

Spending each and every day
With happiness and laughs
Forgetting all our memories
Avoiding photographs

But last night when I saw him
For the first time since he left
My heart stopped for a moment...
I couldn't catch my breath

When suddenly it hit me
As the tears started to flow
That even after all this time...
I just can't let him go

Thanks Dakota

I agree Dak.  I almost never read this type of writing....except maybe for Smax....he's very good.

Bravo Bubble!  Your style is clear....easy to read and understand.  I think probably everyone...even if they won't admit it...have somone they can't let go of.  You are not alone.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

I usually hate poems...but I actually like this one.  Nothing hidden, just real.  Nice.
