Hopes

I held it so tight in my grasp.

The overwhelming desire, the hope that we would forever last.

Time stood still, as my love for you had my heart so full of bliss that I could

not contain my happiness.

How obvious my display, the joy I hold was absorbed to the up most fullest.

It could not help but to pour out, as others could feel, in my heart I thought

you were the real deal.

As I continued to hold on to a love that I thought we would share.

I slowly began to realize you really were never there.

I closed my eyes while keeping my heart open.

All the while wondering what would happen.

Time stood still for only a while. As our love was really only one-sided, I lost my smile.

My hands lost their grip and what I thought was love was just a wish.

One that I had hoped was answered from above when we shared our first kiss.

I felt a love that was finally found. I was fooled as your caring ways were no where around.

You left my heart weak, my faith torn away I could not speak.

I lost a love I thought was strong.

Your love was not mine to keep, it slipped right through

my grasp. Now you are just a part of my past.

Finally I except the fact that you were never Mr. Right, but only Mr. Wrong.

I swear, you should be a philosopher. Beautiful, heartbreaking, and poignant piece, Sandy. Again, be proud, even if the sadness that wrote this piece still permeats your life. Hopefully, you can find something to smile about :)

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
