For Our Love...A Requiem

It was a collage of �
Could haves �
Should haves �
Would haves.... �
That just racked my brain �
The pain of leaving you �
Left a stain �
Beneath my chest �
This second guess �
Is weighing me down with �
Too much regret... �
For not accepting your offering of a crown �
I should have bought you that wedding gown �
We could have easily escaped out of town �
To seek our justice of the peace �
�
Just us �
�
You and I �
With a new lease on life �
Husband and wife �
Running away like boy and girl �
Taking spontaneous cruises �
Around the world �
Toasting and coasting �
Between a sky deep with indigo blues �
And a shimmering ocean hiding �
The secret of pearls �
Where we exchange vows again �
In the night time �
The right time �
With the constellations shining �
As your bridesmaids �
And the moon would give you away to me �
I would take you by the hand �
And alone we would dance �
To the soft music of midnight waters �
I would twirl you �
Dip you �
Grip you back into my arms �
Slip you a kiss �
So nice... �
So warm.... �
�
The kiss of a lifetime.... �
�
That never came to be �
My name I never gave to thee �
Children that we'd never get to see
The pain just remained �
Too deep �
Our dreams never reaped �
Passion never sowed �
Because I owed it to my family �
So I pretend to live happily �
Stuck between the �
Realms of memories �
And make believe �
Lamenting on �
All the days �
When �
I ... �
�
Could have... �
�
Should have... �
�
Would have..... �
�
Came back to you... �
�
But didn't. �

This is simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. That makes it a worthwhile journey. There is such emotion here. I love it.

As your bridesmaids
And the moon would give you away to me

Is my favorite bit. Really touching write. Namaste.

Heartbreaking write, if true (sounds like it is) even more heartbreaking. Families. Can be treacherous. I divorced mine many years ago. Haven't seen any of them in a long while. Back to your poem. Heartbreaking write!

Your poetry, as I have begun to read you. Is more than words delivering a vision of precisely penned thoughts. They for me, read as a precision of literature placed in a crafted puzzle of each thought you convey.
