That tender touch, <br />How could it be so full of questions? <br /> <br />The kiss, our first ever, <br />why do I fear its memory <br /> <br />You were like dew drops, <br />on the morning grass, <br />there, but only for a short time, <br />and then gone, <br /> <br />Ive lost so much because of you, <br />My mothers trust, <br />My friends friendship, <br />My ability to open up to people, <br />Why cant I be angry? <br /> <br />When will it stop? <br />The late-night tears? <br />The day-time depression, <br />the constant heartache, <br /> <br />How can anyone say that <br />its better to have loved and lost, <br />then never to have loved at all? <br /> <br />If you've never loved, <br />then your heart is still strong, <br />but im lost, <br />i feel so vulnerable, <br />like anyone could just burst in, <br /> <br />And hurt me, <br />would you be there to protect? <br />Or have you already <br />forgotten me?<br /><br />Savannah Allison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/distant-love-3/
