I had a great love but where did I put it! <br />Found the right guy but it took a big hit <br />I was told I had to move four states away <br />I was too young so I couldn't stay <br /> <br />I thought he had it, I could see it in him <br />That was my old boyfriend, his name was Jim <br />But I had to say bye, I had to go <br />Just when my love was starting to grow <br /> <br />He was moving north, to a college dorm <br />I had to move south, my heart in a storm <br />Ten hours by car for a young heart to yearn <br />I knew such a distance was a big concern <br /> <br />He had his new life, I had to say bye <br />He didn't agree and he asked me Why? <br />We talked and talked, there was nothing to do <br />I had cried for two days as I thought it through <br /> <br />A long distance love would never survive <br />How could we keep teenage love alive <br />He would have new friends, half of them girls <br />In his eyes would they become beautiful pearls? <br /> <br />I had to go, I had no choice <br />So I said good bye with quivering voice <br />I had a great love but where did I put it! <br />In someone nice but I still had to quit <br /> <br />Now three years later where did I put it! <br />Into my sun, moon and stars is where it fits <br />He is my friend, love and husband, my Bob <br />It's how life worked to find it, my heart throb<br /><br />Darlene Walsh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-did-i-put-it/
