Goodbye Sweetheart

Our time has finally come to an end

Six excellent, crazy, topsy turvy months,

We strived to overcome our problems

But this time there seemed to be too many bumps.

***

This tears me apart inside

And breaks my heart in two,

I dreamt of spending the rest of my life

With no one else but you.

***

So even though we've parted

And we'll never see each other again,

My love will keep on shining through

No matter how great the pain.

***

I loved you more than anyone

In fact I was 18 when I last loved like this,

Now my only sad regret

Is that it did not lead to wedded bliss.

***

The wonderful thing in all this

Is that today, of all days,

I can write of my love, not hate

That tells me I will be okay!

***

So leave here now my Darling

Knowing that my love for you still exists,

As strong as ever, if not stronger

And in my heart you'll always be missed!!!

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
