A love poem musing about my sadness losing the girl that broke my heart, inspired from a poem that I wrote and never sent to her, Christmas 1991.
— Een liefdesgedicht over mijn droefheid na het verlies van het meisje dat mijn hart brak, geïnspireerd door een gedicht dat ik schreef dat ik haar nooit heb gestuurd, Kerstmis 1991.
my eyes, see you walk away, you leave me, and I am sad, sad that I’ll no longer see your beautiful smile again, see your love for me, in your eyes, see you next to me when I wake in the morning, and see you do all the wonderful things you do, my ears, hear you tell me, you are leaving me, and I am sad, sad that I’ll no longer hear your wonderful voice again, hear you call out my name, hear you laugh, and hear you tell me you love me, with my nose, I am reminded of you, of your perfume, and I am sad, sad that I’ll be reminded of you each time I smell the perfume you wore, that I’ll no longer smell your sweet scent, and be intoxicated by your sensuousness, my hands, will no longer, feel your hands in mine, and I am sad, sad that I’ll no longer touch you, that I’ll no longer gently hold you as I look into your eyes, and feel your lips on mine, my heart each day, feels the pain of losing you, and I am sad, sad that I’ll never feel the warmth of your love again, the care and understanding you gave, and the closeness that you brought to me, my soul, feel’s lost, when I am without you, and I am sad, sad that I have lost my one true love, my once in a lifetime soul mate, and my soul is empty and irreconcilable without you, my whole body, aches for your love, and I am sad, sad that I will never feel your body next to mine, and feel your touch, again. my head tells me, to let you go and forget you, and I am sad, sad that I must let you go, and give up on our beautiful love, my heart tells me, to hold you and not to forget you, and I am sad, sad that I cannot let you go, and give up on our beautiful love,
