The Last Time, I Remember

In my mind's eye
I can still see her sitting
on the living room sofa
after a kiss
and a knowing smile
wishing me so long,
and not good by
As I headed to the airport
There was something
in the tone of her voice
and the way she suddenly
looked away
Her eyes staying to the ground
Yet her words made me strong
Gave me optimism
As I closed the door behind me
And walked down the hall
and how was I to know
that it would be the last time
I'd ever see her face?
(sorry for posting this, but I just had a flashback to an event that happened when I was 15, my only aunt was terminally ill and I was sent back to Trinidad for a few months, till she passed....been years since I've thought of that....I over edit so I won't have to touch this one again now that it's posted....it's not intended to be a 'romantic' poem, Â Â lol....cheers)

thanks Sparrowsong, don't feel sorry, it was a long time ago, it just popped into my mind, so I wrote a poem about it....thanks for the comment, I'm cool....cheersÂ
thanks for the comment, Cherie...I write poetry mostly for therapy as I get over whelmed with thoughts; negative and positive and words come fairly easy, if I think too much then I throw away the write, cause it's not poetry, it's just repeating a previous write, I'm learning this....had a memory of my late aunty appearing in my head, it was a traumatizing experience to see her pass away at 32, the memory of her won't fade but I had to ground out the vision of the last time I saw her, into a poem, now I'll be okay and remember her in a pleasant way, I'm not sure why that works for me but it does....cheersÂ
Hey Mirela, thanks for the beautiful thought my friend, and the hugs as well, right back to youÂ
Wow Chris, God I always love your work, it inspires me so deeply that this poem actually brought a tear to my eye. I am so sorry for your loss my friend. Also reminds me of my uncle who I had also lost when I was fifteen, i may just write a poem about the moment I heard the news and you could read it, I will be hoping you feel peace knowing that you are not alone in such suffering. God always seems to take the best first. love ya bud xox
Melissa, yeah I'm so glad I put that footnote under the write, to explain what the poem is about, after I wrote it I thought; crap this sounds like a breakup of some sort, and I think I've exhausted that topic to death; I'm bored just thinking about it lol....yeah my aunt's death did traumatize me for a while, sorry to hear about your uncle, I'll def. check out your poems today, looking forward....yes you're so right about the best going first, hey that is a very sweet thing to say about me feeling peace, thanks.... hugz
memories and poetry are the cure, I'll remember that....no need to be sorry Lily May, it was a long time ago, it was good to remember her again, but that day is still a sad day to me....random thought; I wonder what it would be like to write a do over poem; take a negative memory and go into it like a dream, then change or say what you need to say, lol....hey thanks for comment, and that very good recommendation; memories and poetry....cheers T :D
Sorry for your loss , but you expressed it greatly
I appreciate that, thank you
hey Eddie, thanks for the comment my friend, yeah the metering isn't exactly where it should be, but it's based on a memory I have of the last time I saw my  aunt, and the sequence of a memory is choppy and broken, and never seems perfectly ordered; bits and pieces ...the death of my aunt almost had me committed, my friend, missed two years of school because of it, writing this poem was probably the first positive thing I've ever done with a negative memory like that, I guess it's never too late to learn how to heal and move on, cheers pal....ttyl
