He Thought of Her
he thought of her every day
happy thoughts, memories
every single moment they
had ever shared together
none was ever forgotten
he thought of her hair –
silky, board-straight,
dark brown, almost black
he thought of her eyes –
blue-gray, flaked with
diamonds, twinkling,
ranging from coal ash,
to white the colors burned
into his memory
he thought of her laugh
the tilt of her head,
the crooked smile, the
not-so-innocent tone
in that feminine chuckle
.
he thought of her often
long after it was over,
she was gone, and his
time with her had ended
.
he thought of her no matter
the day, every day there
was time spent remembering
right up to the end

Memories are the reels of life we forever cherish!!
Well said! It can be hours of entertainment or torture to replay those reels. The mind sometimes decides for itself which it will be.
Very true, but sometime you have to smile regardless and remind yourself that they are exactly that, memories.
Oh absolutely! And good or bad, those memories are moments that help to make us who we are so I suppose for that reason we should embrace all of them.
Exactly. 😉
Just remember this.. “Sometimes you must allow yourself to let go.. And except what is”
What a touching poem. This brings sad, but warm feelings.

I like how you take the cliche idea of unrequited love and turn it into a beautiful stream of words, flowing down the mountain of emotion and empathy. Bravo, sir, Bravo.
