THE DAY I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOU
The Day I Fell In Love
The day I fell in love with you.
\ByÂ
Jude Kyrie
We were just children
when I fell in love with you.
I Remember the sky
was deep  summer blue.
The lake was blue
Even the dragonflies that skimmedÂ
the lake water were blue.
I was black and blue
Stepfathers are not always kind.
You saw me sitting on the dock
My feet hanging into the cool water
I can feel your slim arm
Fold over my shoulder
And you're too blonde hair
fell like my teardrops
as it fell onto my back.
I fought back the tears
That your small act of kindness.
Dragged from my young eyes.
I ached to turn and kiss you.
To smell the freshness of
the summer wind in your hair.
But the courage had been
beaten from me.
By him who stole
the joy of my childhood.
Replacing it with
pain and violence.
So I sat quietly
I am sorry I did not
shout my love that filled
my young heart
so loud it would have carried
Along the surface of the lake.
all the way to the sea.
I wrote love poems to you
But never sent them.
And I let you move away
without saying goodbye.
All My life through the years
I have searched for the little
fruit of sweetness and warmth
You gave to me that day.
The one we bit into
until the juices
drained down our shirts.
I will find it again.
As I will find you.
For I am now healed
And my love for you
Will be loud and clear
As I shout it
from the rooftops
for the whole world to hear.

hey, Jude, don't let me down...lol, you must get that 'hey Jude,' reference a lot, I imagine....dude, I really enjoyed this one, a back in the day, lost love poetic journey, it's actually quite good, carries this melancholy and regret tone, without crossing the line into flowery dribble.... you won't believe this Jude, but I wrote one with a similar theme, last night, I won't post it, now that I've read this one, I think mine is kinda boring and it had a sad ending as well, poetryland doesn't need any more of that....just wanted to say, good job here, my friend?  Not sure if I can call you friend, though, we've never exchanged words, okay then, my make believe, friend, have great night....good jobÂ
