I knew you once <br />But not again <br />It's my fault you left <br />I feel so ashamed <br /> <br />After you left <br />I thought I had moved on <br />What I didn't realize was <br />That my heart just grew more fond <br /> <br />I thought I didn't miss you <br />But I guess I really did <br />I've just been writing you poems <br />Ever since I was a little kid <br /> <br />I'm a teenager now <br />And was convinced that we had broken the bond <br />My brain knew but my heart didn't get the memo <br />Because it just grew more fond <br /> <br />They say there's no time like the present <br />And that absence makes the heart grow fonder <br />I had no knowledge of this before <br />But experience has made me wiser <br /> <br />'You never lose by loving. You only lose by holding back' <br />But the Spanish said, 'where there's love, there's pain' <br />But 'love comforteth like sunshine after rain' according to Shakespeare <br />....screw the Spanish, I've got a lot to gain <br /> <br />With that being said, I hope that you know <br />When you left the bond wasn't broken <br />And what made me love you more <br />Was that my heart hung onto the words not spoken. <br /> <br />Absence makes the heart grow fonder<br /><br />LaTisha Parkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder-3/
