And I know;
That in the brisk, dewy mornings
And the late evening hours,
Just in the cusp between day and night,
I'll look back.
A gentle smile on my lips,
A slight dampening of my eyes,
Back once more, to these honeysuckle memories.

Such tender moments and remarkable company,
The remembrance sickeningly sweet at times.
As phenomenal as they are in their occurrences,
I know the aftereffects will be much more grand.

Words are the most powerful thing in the universe
They have the ability to both end and save a life
A raindrop that can bring about a hurricane
or a light that can guide you from the darkness
Never say something you do not truly mean
Words will stick in a person so deep
Stay there inside them like amber
Whether it is something horrible,
or absolutely beautiful,
a small compliment,
saying goodnight,
tearing apart their entire existence;
these things do not fade
So to do the feelings stay
A painful memory is never forgotten,
never fully healed
These are when the good memories are needed
To form around the bad and eradicate the sharp edges
Leaving behind the ache but removing the sting
Words, just as amber, are ever lasting

I am your poet --
I write your name on my heart
and our memories on my pages.

I write about my doubts,
my maybe's, what if's
and whereabouts
of you; and only you.

I write about my mistakes and yours --
our past, present, supposed future;
and how I love you the most.

I write about our debates --
the shouting and crying like
a wildfire sprawled across the bed.

I write about our first date --
when we dress up so nicely
and danced all night.

I write about our first kiss --
the push and pull of our lips;
and the warmth of our breathing.

I write about the way we talk --
the sweetest and most painful sound
uttered against the wind by the heart.

I write about your heartbeat --
the way it speaks to me,
and how it says my name joyfully.

I write about your face, your body,
the sound, noise, and joy;
and how we make love endlessly.

I am your poet --
I write about our unending love
that ends on my pages.

Oh innocence, what bliss you are.
I wish you could've stayed,
but it must have been too much to ask.
We're told we are too young,
to fall in love or know what we want.
I disregarded it all and met you.
As we talked and spent time together,
It wasn't too long before you had my heart.
I know I don't have much to give;
But I gave what I could.
I tried so hard to make you happy.
You finally said you loved me;
I felt the same as I told you.
I only wish I could detect lies better.
Maybe then I would have been saved,
From your "love"
