I know im not a regular here but i would like to share with you the fact that im getting a poem published. i entered a competition a few weeks ago and my poem has been chosen to be in the book... Im so proud and so is my family...

Love is deep and meaningful.

Love is deep and meaningful.
Yet, our love cannot be.
The way it has turned out is so hurtful,
It really hurt me.
I thought you were special and that we would last a long time,
But now i realise that you will never be mine!
You're living your life without me,
While i lie crying, thinking of you and me.
You were so close for a time,
But now you are so far away, i can't see your face.
I remember the time when you were mine,
But now love has forgotten this lonely place.
Every time i see you or talk to you,
The pain is unbearable.
I know I should start anew.
Now that I see you are moving on, it's so unimaginable.
Many nights I stayed up just to talk to you,
I thought you felt the same,
But now i know that it was just to suit you.
I lie awake at night trying to tame the tears that you made.

Many years have past since that sad July day,
The day you took your love away,
I wonder where you are now?
It's been so long, so much has happened,
Since that final row.
Much has been said, seen and done.
But I still want you desperately.
I hope that you love and are loved,
I hope that you are happy and live forever with your beloved.
I also hope that one day, in this life or the next,
That we can see each other once again,
"If God asked me what I did with my life, I would say I spent it with you!"

That is awesome Piper..

I'm curious though, did you write it based on anything or did it just come to you?
