"Those who stand for nothing fall for anything." - Alexander Hamilton


I miss your smile
Your deep, caring eyes
How you would listen
Give thoughtful replies

I miss our jokes
Your contagious laugh
You were important
My true, other half

I miss your patience
When you'd hear me out
I felt so much better
Beyond any doubt

I can't quite describe
The state of my heart
Now that you're gone
Now that we're apart

But all that I know
Is I'm much better off
Without your rude actions
Why would you scoff?

Who you are now
Isn't who I first met
Despite the good times
I try to forget

Because when I glance
At your beautiful face
As I pass in the hall
Amongst the rat race

I so badly wish
You felt the very same
Relationships are not
Just simply a game

I don't like who you are
I miss who you were
The negative feelings;
They toss and they stir

Now that I've realized
You couldn't be sincere
I'm glad that it's over
Please don't reappear


The author's comments:
This piece is inspired by a personal experience. A friend I had for years had a change in her priorities and dropped our friendship to pursue something else. It's all about mixed emotions - appreciating the good, but despising the bad in a past relationship. People change, and figuring out where you stand with them in the future is not an easy task. I would hope that readers would be able to relate to the feelings described in this poem. Maybe having another person who's able to relate will eliminate some of the heartache out there.
