Over Time

by Sandra D   Sep 30, 2007


At this time last year,
I would've taken any chance
To go back in time
And fix everything I've done wrong.

But now that's not the case
Now, I'd change nothing
Even if I had the chance,
Cause it all happened for a reason.

Losing you almost ended my life
But it was for the best in the big picture.
Because losing you made me realize
How much my life depends on you being in it.

Every mistake made in the past
Helped me become the person I am today.
And in the end, we're closer than ever
Because we couldn't ever forget each other.

Who knows where we would be
If last year never happened
We wouldn't have realized, over time
How much we really need each other.

    I think the structure worked well, and flowed straight from you heart.

    very thought provoking.

    Solid structure and it flows really well. I'm normally a fan of reading rhyming poems, although this is a perfect example of why you don't always need a rhyme structure.

    This is written straight from the heart, and the emotion contained in just 5 small stanza's is exceptional. Its a really touching piece that lays your heart right on the line.

    Nice work.
    [5/5]
