Poems

I thought I had...

Last week, I thought I had
That someone special.
The person who could be 'the one'
That everyone talks about,
Seeks so much, the need there is
To have someone to hold, to hug,
To love.

You I have loved
Like no other before.
The distance between us long,
That half hour on the train,
The most nerve racking experience.
The thoughts in my head
Running wild,

"Will I say something stupid?"
Yes, probably, but you didn't care.
You loved me for who I really was.
But now, we are apart,
And it has only been a little time,
Since we last met, as a couple,
Two inseparable beings.

Distance, however, knows not
Of love, but heartache,
Sorrow and hurt.
I love you and miss you more
Than I ever did before,
The distance just that bit too far
To make a relationship work,

So we came to an end.
I thought it'd be so great,
But everything changed,
And now, although my feelings,
They all still linger,
With you, I can never be,
And that's enough, to break my heart.

Now, for you, there's someone else.
You didn't have the guts to tell me.
I'm going to let our friendship fall apart,
'Cause it hurts to much.
Seeing you happy, whilst I'm still hurting,
Though it may seem selfish.
It's just to late, my heart, already broken.

Throughout It All

Throughout it all, you have been there,
Even when you were worse for wear.
Just for me, and my little sister,
You were amazing, just super.
There have been difficult times, for us all,
But, throughout it all,
You've remained a constant,
The most brilliant parent.

For me and my sister,
You are never far,
Always just a walk or call away,
Even in the midst of a fray.
Throughout it all, I could rely on you.
For advice on what I should do
If I ever had a problem,
I would come to you.

My one hope in life,
Is that I could strive,
Throughout it all, I could do the same,
Make you feel special, this is my aim.
For you are there for me,
And although at times I may be cheeky,
Throughout it all, you should be aware.
I love you, and will always care.
