This was a poem written in a letter to my lost love. I wanted her to see the truth that the smoke and the tears had been hiding for too long. I wanted her to see what I had been holding back for so long.

The Last Letter To Be
by A Peel
I exist now dreaming in reality, shades of deep reds and grays,
Evolving at the speed of light
As my third eye sees all, I bring my fingers to my lips and time stops
I taste you.
I ponder you and wallow in the memory of your scent and way.

How you called me baby
The way you made me laugh
The way you touched my heart and made me
believe

Unable to stop, it seems too wonderful,
but in the end there is not much but pain.
I allow this for some time, then I awake
and know that I am alive and the possibilities are endless.
Wanting you to taste my soul
and undeniably know that I am the one
and we are one to conquer happiness together,
unimaginably, the way you knew that we could
and will if you say one word,

Yes!

Your fear. Your ego. Your pride. They protect and also hurt you,
keeping you from what is rightfully yours,

Love.

If I had your heart again?
Oh, the way I would touch it, nurture it
and protect it
My most sacred gift
God wants what I want,
he trusts me and knows my light is pure as he does you.
Say the word once.

The heavens will open up and the angels will sing in our praise

Because we chose.

Please don't be afraid, I am always here for you.

I Love You.

    This moved me. I am going through a divorce that I truly don't want to happen, but am doing for her sake. This sums up many of my deep feelings and regrets without a cast of blame or anger. An outstanding work.

    This poem is great. It tells about my boyfriend and I alot. Im only 16 and hes 19 and we have been together for 4 yrs now. Off and on and we still keep breaking up but keep going back to each other. Hes the only love of my life. I dont know if he wants to move on or whatever but hopefully he will soon enough know that he will be missing alot if he leaves me for good. This poem is a wonderful poem!

  • Lynae
    This poem is beautiful..There was this guy in my life that I was madly in love with, and we ended up having to go our own way. But I would take him back if he would just say the words in a heartbeat..
  • Dionna
    Wow, does this poem speak to me. Just very recently, my boyfriend and I broke up. And like a previous person stated, we somehow keep going back to each other because we are unable to fully let go of the deep feelings we have for each other. Fear keeps him from staying but love keeps him coming back. If he would only say Yes! Thank you for saying what I've been trying to find the words to say!
  • SHARI
    THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. IT MAKE ME THINK OF A LOVE LOT.THAT I'D TAKE BACK IT A MINUTE.ALL HE HAD TO DA IS SAY THE WORD! I LOVE IT!
  • Sara
    My boyfriend of two years recently broke up with me and he sent me this poem about a week later to reassure that he still cared for me. The words fit our love for each other perfectly
  • Alexis

  • annette
    I was looking at all the poems and yours caught my eye. I thought it was very good. I have been in a relationship where the guy is scared because he went through a ugly divorce. We have been together for a year and a half. We have broke up 3 times, but we keep going back to each other. I have tried to start a new relationship and I thought it was going to be right. I keep thinking of this guy. I want to be with him always that is why your poem caught my eye. Thanks for your time das
  • lisa
