This isn't a poem as such more like a short story.
In a few months time you'll be leaving me and though you've sworn to me that I'll be your one true love forever, I can't believe you.
The moment you leave me, I feel a link from our chain fall and all I'll have left to hold on to
will be the times you said you loved me, that we'll make it through and that you'll come back for me.
Gradually eveytime you see me you'll realize that you know me a little less, that you love me a little less. Until the day comes when you don't know me or love me at all and you don't feel any pain when you hear my name.
The time arrives for you to go to university, and as i sit alone waiting for the day you say you're coming to get me I feel the last link of our chain fall, my heart breaks and the tears flow.
Finally many, many years from now when we're old and you have grandchildren you'll look up to the moon on a clear and starry night, you'll think back to your adolescence and you'll remember me with a smile.
At the same moment I'll look up to the moon, having never forgotten you handsome face and tender touch, and I'll remember you with a tear that falls silently down my weathered face as I stand, still waiting for the day you say you're coming to get me.
~ I wrote this for me and my one true love. Although we will shortly be separated I hope with every ounce of strength I have that we can make it through the rough times ahead.
