Longing

Once I was sure, once I knew you, back then,
We talked about things you can't imagine.
We truly loved each other, way back when,
Such things happen but once in a million.

And suddenly you left, not looking back,
You left me sitting there, wondering why.
I cannot take it; something I can't hack,
Wishing you back, on the stars in the sky.

Sometimes I just sit there, waiting for you,
All by myself; I wish you for myself.
But you are not mine, this I always knew.
My mourning but festers there, by itself.

I will get over you sometime I hope,
Till then, memories I will use to cope.

A sonnet (14 lines 10 syllables) about rejection. There's an extreme feeling of loneliness from the person, and while they realise they'll get over them, it seems impossible now.

Renee is right...

I do do it

I see you lying on a cloud up there,
Peaceful, I slowly lay down next to you.
Our breaths move in rhythmes, sleeping, unfair,
I am not asleep, and it's just us two.

I lay there thinking, what to say to you?
So many idea's, but none are right.
You do not want me, my feelings untrue,
So I move away, can't do it tonight.

The next day I'm there, looking in the clouds.
The next day you're there, asleep next to me.
Still I wonder, what to say? I'm too proud.
I retreat, away again, not yet free.

I cannot say what I feel, too scared to.
For it is not love, but friendship imbued.
