The 1st Year I met you, my life was a blur,
I struggled with self-esteem, but I always found these words,
Hours upon hours, we would text forever,
Sleepless nights
your texts would wrap around my head,
And I never wanted to go to sleep
Much less to bed.

The 2nd year we went to college,
You stayed in your home state,
And I did the same,
Nights we would speak of marriage
A horse with a carriage
and a barrage of gold,
Something told me,
You had captured my soul.

The 3rd year that's when I knew,
That this love wasn’t fake, I had to have you,
So I came up with something in my head,
That I would ask you out instead,
But you backed off,
saying you felt lost,

The 4th year we talked of a family,
You said you loved me and that you cared for me,
And that's when I knew
Our love had come true,
So I settled to travel to your state,
To arrange for a date,
But at last, it rained,
And you never came.

The 5th Year you were broken,
We talked, I knew your heart was left open,
My heart had felt so rich but now poor,
So one day I showed up to your door,
We embraced with a kiss
And you cried tears of bliss,
Shoving me back you turned in pain,
Saying that you could never,
Feel the same.

The 6th Year I never heard back,
I thought you had moved on, but my love was still intact,
I took a plane to your state and went to your house,
Knocked on your door, your mother answered with doubt,
I asked her about you, and that's when her heart turned blue,
She led me to a room which was cleaned and broomed,
She gave me a letter and told me your answer,
“I’m sorry Ben, She loved you, but she passed away with cancer.”
And that's when I fell, crying swift tears,
I promised on that day,
I would never forget the love,
that we once shared,
6 Years.

Thanks for reading my poetry! If you could comment, upvote or re-steem (resteeming helps because i’m relatively unknown lol) i’d be grateful, I wrote this one to illicit emotion out of the reader and to show that not everything lasts forever, you never know when it’ll come to an end, appreciate every moment you have, Thank you! :). (also these next coming days i’m going to be posting more happy poetry, but I’m still going to try to illicit emotion !! don’t forget that.”
