Sometimes I Miss You
First loves burn the brightest
White hot flames in the heart
They're the hardest to quench
The hardest to drench
Even after a salty rainfall
It's hard to pinpoint yourself
Where you stand within
Because the mind knows
The stench of reality
But the heart sees the sweetness beneath
For although I know the insanity
The madness that drove me away
I still remember the good things
The silly parts that made me stay
How you understood my brokenness
Because yours was even darker than mine
Because of this, sometimes I miss you
But that's a fleeting idea I don't want to try
It's bazaar to be like strangers now
When in reality, I know everything you are
Inside and out, everything in between
Every little quirk that once brought me to my knees
Even now after reading through old poems
I can't regret a damn thing
I'm glad to have shared that chapter of my life
With a beautiful man like you
White hot flames in the heart
They're the hardest to quench
The hardest to drench
Even after a salty rainfall
It's hard to pinpoint yourself
Where you stand within
Because the mind knows
The stench of reality
But the heart sees the sweetness beneath
For although I know the insanity
The madness that drove me away
I still remember the good things
The silly parts that made me stay
How you understood my brokenness
Because yours was even darker than mine
Because of this, sometimes I miss you
But that's a fleeting idea I don't want to try
It's bazaar to be like strangers now
When in reality, I know everything you are
Inside and out, everything in between
Every little quirk that once brought me to my knees
Even now after reading through old poems
I can't regret a damn thing
I'm glad to have shared that chapter of my life
With a beautiful man like you

I'm sure a lot of people can relate, first love is often the most difficult to get through. But what I especially loved about this was the no regrets aspect. That's absolutely wonderful, I find not many people are able to cherish what was and focus only on the negatives and/or bitterness they feel towards the person or situation. Great poem.

So true... But some of the best and worst moments of my life happened with that person. I have to remember the reason we didn't work out, but at the same time, I can't forget the good. Otherwise I wasted 2 years of my life, and I'll be damned if I let something go to waste. I still look back on the good memories with fondness. Thanks for dropping by:)
