Forever isnt so long Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 so its been a month since the break up and shes already dating another guy so i decided i was goin to try one last thing i was goin to write her a poem about the good times. even though no one here knows the relationship that we had. id appreciate some feedback on what you all think... It’s not easy taking a year of memories and putting them all in one poem But if I had to do it...It might look something like this... Remember that ankle, mistakenly kicked "We Shared a Moment", two square dancing kids. Remember our hands clenched tightly in the Go-Kart, That’s when our love felt its first spark. Remember our collision, That first real date, a night of Dodgeball, and phones, and staying up late. Remember long talks on the phone, Telling you that you’ll never be alone. Remember our first, aching kiss That gave birth to butterflies and moon-drenched bliss Remember I’d hold your hand and kiss it gently, In return for the love you had sent me. Remember when everything wasn’t all right, So I brought you Bangle late at night. Remember the car rides to stores, And the way I would always open your doors. Remember how on the couch we lay, And I told you I Love You more each day. Remember fun trips to the mall, And just saying I Love You when I call Remember each piggy back ride Or just relaxing by watching Corpse Bride Remember when I’d slowly run my fingers through your hair And we created ourselves a world where we didn’t have a care. Remember when you felt you were all alone and noone was around, I told you I'd be there to pick you up when you fell down. Remember the time your feet slipped in to ice skates, Or one of our many other magical surprise dates. Remember when I read you books before bed, And later my chest was a pillow for your head Remember coloring books, and crayons, And later future plans. Remember eating Lucky Charms while you lied in my arms. Remember when I’d try to sing lady marmalade Or sitting with each other caressed by the shade. Remember when we sat at camp with the singing loons, While watching as the stars made love to the moon. Remember Minigolf and Bumper Boats, All the cards and random notes. Remember when I surprised you at camp with roses, Or when we’d just sit on the couch and kiss with our noses Remember rides on the boat around the lake, Happiness no soul could ever fake Remember Birthdays at the Great Escape and the Lighthouse And when I would bring you to practice at the Boathouse Remember going to see Blue Man Group Or conversations while we pooped (ha-ha) Remember cards and stuffed animals when you were sick All the dark chocolate and ice cream your tongue could lick Remember Je t'aime and merci bocups and our special spongebob sippy cups Remember Subway and Snapple’s Or going to Riverview to pick apples Remember Hugs and Kisses from behind And how I was always there when you cried Remember giving me facials and popping a pimple Who knew that making you happy was that simple. Remember building men from snow Or the sock monkey I tried to sew. Remember cookies and chocolate so hot, Or shoveling on valentines day when it snowed alot. Remember going to camp and we rode the snowmobiles Or the first time I let you drive my new wheels Remember how I would kiss your lips, nose and forehead Each and every night before bed Remember when I told you I’d Never Leave While you rested on my shoulder as we watched TV Remember ice cream at the park, Underdogs on the swings, and giving you My Heart. Remember the nights I would tuck you in or games of Guitar Hero I would Let You Win. Remember trips to the Libraries And all the chocolate covered strawberries Remember all the hard homework You helped me even though it made you berzerk Remember how I always asked you first for help, Because I knew deep down I couldn't do it myself. Remember breakfast and dinner by surprise, Or how next time I went to Taco Bell you wanted fries Remember going to Target and picking out dishes Slowly fufilling all of our future dreams and wishes Remember I said you sound like a chipmunk singing "Go Home, Get Stoned" And with laughing Brown Eyes you’d reply "No I Don’t" Remember cute nicknames, you were Piglet and I was Pooh While telling you how much I Love You. Remember when we said we’d love each other no matter what Even if I put on 80 pounds and got a huge gut Remember we said we’d be there for better or worse, I always said you sounded funny when you cursed Remember buying you books of Sudoku, Just to give you yet more things to do. Remember after a hard day I’d massage your feet, Just so for that moment you wouldn’t have to feel so beat Remember sitting on the floor having picnics, Or playing "Cookies and Cream" just for kicks Remember our trip in april to the planetarium, And how I lost that game because I couldn't clear my cranium. Remember when we’d watch Veggietales on DVD, Or trips to the mall just to see a movie. Remember that gorgeous ring and lovly blue gown Making my "Promises" that day when you were down. Remember when I ran 2.3 miles Just so I could see your smile Remember slowly dancing upon my feet even in memory the thought remains sweet Remember when I went to your Crew race Just so I could cheer you on and see your happy face. Remember chicken parm and strawberry shortcake, on our one year watching American Idol’s Blake. Remember when I said I’d love you Forever and Ever Your Happiness was my only endeavor. Remember when I said to you I Love You I Remember when you said I Love You Too Remember that time I wrote you a poem reminding you of the good times And how much I still care even though what I lack is good rhymes But Most of all... Remember the laughs Remember the smiles Remember the times we had for a while Remember the good Remember the bad Remember the love that we once had Remember with a smile Remember with a tear Remember the times I held you in fear Remember the kisses Remember the hugs Whatever you do don't forget US Please Respond whenever you feel comfortable...... Love Always, Nick P.S. I Love You Forever and Ever, To Infinity and Beyond so tell me what u think Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie-Minx Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Hey hunny that poem is lovley, but i think it needs to be half the length, i got bored reading it and i never get bored! beware tho i tried writing my ex a letter and he just ripped it up, by the sounds of it she was so lucky to have you, i wish my ex was like that! x Link to post Share on other sites
vivrantflo Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have read your posts, and I'm somewhat familiar with your story.. but even someone who isnt familiar with your story, would probably advise the same thing I am about to right now.. Don't send her that poem.. please.. just don't do it. What your poem should be, is a personal recap of what your relationship is like. I suppose it was helpful to write all that stuff down, but sending it to her won't do ANYTHING.. well.. actually it will.. it will either stroke her ego, or completely freak her out. She has another man!! Why take time to make her a poem?? Dude, I understand you're hurting, and I know what it's like to have an ex replace you faster than a lightbulb.. but sweating her like this, isn't helping you.. and it's tarnishing your image. She belongs to another man right now.. so let her go. She doesn't deserve your thoughts, or poems, or anything! Take time for yourself to get back on your feet.. then you'll realize that there's more of a selection of women out there for you. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
Outofluck Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I've got to agree with Pixie..way too long. I did read the whole thing and I think that you are trying to jog her memory into a sentimental relapse of your relationship, bringing her back to you. Sorry to say that it simply won't work. If you send it, she may certainly read it and feel sad for a moment..a moment only...and then call him. Think about it, if you had found someone new and your ex sent you something like that what would you do? Probably run away. Poetry is certainly a great outlet for the expression of our inner-most emotions and can have a healing effect on the sould but I simply would not send her that. You may ruin your chances for good. Who knows, she may realize that the new guy is a tool and then come back anyway...stranger things have happened. Link to post Share on other sites
passionpeach Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 The poem was so lovely! I wish someone can send me something like that too. But I have to agree with the others though. If you send it to her, you are standing the risk of getting hurt again. You would not want that to happen. It is just like scratching a healing wound all over again. You have to start moving on. Do not hold on to the memories. Remember this.. Memories are good but that's all they are. Link to post Share on other sites
