Forgetting you
October 11, 2018
Forgetting you
Your bittersweet kisses
Make me forget
The worse is gone
When I am with you, I'm at my highest
When you’re gone I feel my lowest
Loving you will kill me yet,
I can’t stop
I know having you stay is a hidden sin
But I think of you every day
Your smile entices me
Your eyes invite me
Your laugh excites me
Your cries break me
Hurting you was not planned, but loving you was
I wish I could take it back
Feel your touch
But you are my past
And someone else’s future
You are not mine
And I need to forget you

This hit hard...I'm not going to lie, I can only imagine what happened and how you feel, but I can relate to some extent...I, myself, just went through a break up...last Wednesday...and I completely understand how you feel...I want him back but I can't have him...I miss the way he made me smile, the way he made me laugh, the way he made me feel, like no one else in the world...and I would do anything to have that life back, and not still be here sitting in the friend zone waiting on something that may never come back...he wasn't over his ex, but she's my best friend and now that they're together again, I can't help but sit back and be happy...I just want them to be happy, no matter what it takes... i guess

Love is powerful but don't let it control you.

This was powerful. Loving someone then turning away from that love in the end really does hurt, great poem!

What I find so relatable about this beautiful poem is knowing that you shouldn’t love someone but end up loving them anyway. And also balancing wanting to hurt and cherish them.

Hey if you ever need someone to talk to im here because believe me I know how much love can push like, people don't seem to understand that love can kill or save and we all gamble in it we that advantage in it because we don't understand.

what I like about the poem is that its about the love he has for his sweetheart. Talking about "your eyes invite me, your laugth excites me."But, loving someone so much that he hast to be away from her.
