The Land of the Little While

I can’t remember


If I loved you,

Or put other things

Above you,

But we were

Once together

For a while.


I doubt you ever

Pleased me

And I can’t find

Any reason

Why I stayed

For just one season

Or how it ever

Got that far.


You never picked up

Leaves in autumn

Or cared about

My problems

Or paused with me

To look up

At a star


So, perhaps, I never loved you,

Or put other things

Above you,

But surely

I must have loved you...

For a while.

How is it that human love can come and go so?

I find that our mortality and "the rules" during the present age of the world interfere rather severely with our emotions...

@creatr

yes, some past relationships seem a dream as if lived by a stranger - that's the feeling - estrangement

Yes... separation in time and space and communication...

I recall once feeling "thrown under the bus"... but, though estranged and distant, all is forgiven...

What a lovely, wonderful poem ,feeling of love. ......

Sounds so sad to have tasted and not fulfilled lasting love.

it is the case with all failed relationships - they haunt you with unanswered questions...

This reads so gently to me. Contemplation with an undertone of regret or sadness. Beautifully written. :)

you're right - regret that learning to be real takes a lifetime and sometimes others get hurt along the way
