MY FIRST POEM (UNTITLED)

Where are you tonight?
While you're in my dreams, I wonder!
Why are they all in black and white?
Instead, I wish they were live and in color!
You've always held the key to my heart
Why do we have to be so far apart?
I have so many memories of you, happy and sad,
But my fondest are the good, not bad!
I've known you for so many years,
We've stood together through all the tears!
I love you - God knows how much,
But, still I ask myself, "Was that enough?"
I haven't quit thinking about you since the day you left
And I know your leaving was my fault, so I blame myself!
Would you still be with me if I hadn't lied to you?
Knowing of my whereabouts and told you the truth?
We were bonded together with so many ties
Then everything went bad with one white lie!
After all this time, would you be by my side today?
If I would've reached out to you some other way?!
