Heartbreak

Heartbreak

On this day in July,
a pretty lady I did espy,
back and forth we communicated,
each message made us both elated,

Onto Skype we did try,
so we could see each other eye to eye,
her beauty was there to see,
and I thought she was for me,

Our words and feelings we both did prose,
we both felt the swell as it arose,
each spoken word was meant to be from the heart,
and our love began to start,

Our eyes would meet from afar,
and feelings and emotions were like a destiny star,
her eyes were like a deep green sea,
and I could feel her love melt me,

Many hours and days were spent,
each declaring their intent,
our emotions and feelings made us pine,
we had to meet, we knew it was time,

At the airport she said I had looked scared,
what she didnt realise was just how much I cared,
I saw her beauty and my heart did fly,
I had to hold onto my emotions so I would`nt cry,

Her visit was supposed to be a short stay,
The night before we felt the pull of her going away,
We talked and felt the emotions pulling at our heart,
I asked her to stay so we would not be apart,

We spent all our time together and we shared,
we could see through our touches that we both really cared,
hours quickly flew and our love grew,
our vows to each other we said anew,

At Our Ladys Chapel I bent on one knee,
and asked this princess to marry me,
she answered one word "yes",
at that very moment I felt blessed,

She told me she would always be there,
we made future plans in which to share,
we knew work to her was very dear,
and moving back to Finland was clear,

Her going back was not a good day to cheer,
we both held back the tears, we declared that each was dear,
my homeward journey was strangely cold,
but she told me our love was a very strong bond to hold,

Back to Skype we communicated,
with smiles and love anticipated,
we could see that we were missing one another this was clear,
and we both dearly wanted to be near,

A few weeks have now passed and time has been on her side,
each moment treasured, had been measured including her pride,
last 48hrs we scarcely talked, my attempts to Skype were closed a line had been drawn,
and new thoughts in her mind mind had been borne,

I received an email to say things were not going her way,
and that in her eyes there is no future to stay,
all communications to her have been blocked everywhere,
So my answer is clear, you my sweet princess will always be dear.

People say time has great healing,
difficult to take this on with feeling,
I have loved and she has now departed,
and am I the only one broken hearted.

About this poem:
This relationship grew beyond Skype and we lived together for 4 weeks in my home. Plans for the future were made including marriage all seemed happy and content. One of the biggest strengths in this relationship was that we could sit and talk without fear, to say what was on our minds and discuss any issues. Sadly someone did forget how we could talk. Whether other influences were at work I will never know because the road is shut.

You have a lovely way with words, this story in poem drew me in. I didn't much like the ending, if only life were like fairytales hey.

Nice beginning but sad ending. When someone is meant to be for us, then they will be. I like the flow of this poem. Have a blessed day. wave Christin.
