Fortunes of love
By: Rob Munera
I sometimes thought
There would never be
A better tomorrow,
But you came into my life
And took all my sadness away
My days of loneliness
Have since faded away,
I have found true love at last
Those days are gone for good
I can tell for sure,
Because you fill a void
In my heart
I knew you always could
You’ve opened a window
Into my soul
And shown me the light
My love for you
Will continue to burn
You’re a precious gift to me.
At times,
There aren’t enough words
To express the most amazing things
That happens in our lives-
For prayers,
That answers all our needs
From beyond this world
Anything you or I dreamt possible
For joys in our hearts
Will surprise us immensely
Miracles that could only be
The work of Cupid, himself,
A gift from Heaven
Even if I cannot say those words
I long for you to say to me,
I promise I’ll show you
With every touch,
And every long stare
You are my miracle
That has made my life
Ever more wonderful
Than I could ever dream it to be.
You give me
A reason to smile,
A reason to hope.
You give me so much
And your love
Is all I ask in return.
The love I had for you
Fills up the size of an ocean
Bigger than any other.
I hoped someday
We hold each other tightly,
And kiss
In my heart, I know
You are the one I want
I want you with me
Until our days are done
But in my excitement
And blind love,
If something may happen
And it turns out
You do not love me,
Then that’d be my mistake,
My burden to carry
Every night
I lay in bed
Wondering what happened.
Wondering what I did wrong,
And how I broke it to pieces
I’m sorry I love you.
Now you’re gone,
And I’m alone.
11:34
Twenty-six minutes left
And it’ll be a new day,
But the same day.
The same people, I see
The same self in the mirror.
Always losing love
And never finding that one.
Wonder when my turn will come…?
It’ll be the same as before, I know.
The same broken hopes
That I’ve grown used to seeing.
The same letdown
From Cupid,
Right after the other
It’s all the same to me
The same inadequacies
Love, to me,
Is full of hopelessness
And loneliness…
Longing for true love
The utter desire for love,
Inspires for something real
In twenty-six minutes
At the stroke of midnight,
It’ll all be over.
It’ll have been three months
Since it all went to hell
I never tried to steal you-
Steal you from him.
And I hope you know that.
It feels like I’ve waited
A thousand years for you
But my love was torn apart
And disposed of.
Now I cannot forgive you
Perhaps not yet
11:41
Only nineteen minutes left to go
I don’t believe you’ll change your mind
I don’t believe you’ll want,
At least, a friend
The opportunity-
A friendship I offered you
Back then on your doorstep,
You took it and threw it in the snow.
I want to forget you, Jessi
How does it feel?
Being told that
It’s what you told me
On the phone
That day in September.
11:43
Why…
Do I cry now?
I want to leave-
Forget you and all my mistakes
Seventeen minutes
Won’t change
What three months couldn't
I know that
In seventeen minutes
I’ll still be here
Lying on my bed… wondering
Alone with no one to hold;
No one to love
I’ll stare at the wall
With your image in mind
Emotionlessly wondering…
The window will be open
Letting in the cold
Even if try to contact me
Or if you don’t
It won’t matter
Either way,
I’ll still be alone.
You can’t change it no.
I’ve forgotten you.
Nothing will change
By the time you read this,
If you do,
You’ll miss me
By the time you read this,
I would’ve moved on
I wish I could go back-
Back before we met
And stop myself from falling for you;
Back to understand
Why we couldn’t be
I was never handed a chance
You left before I took a step
Just like the rest.
11:56
Four minutes left
And I realize now
I cannot fix this.
There’s nothing neither you nor I can do
To fix this
By this time,
Whether its days from now
Or months, or years,
I’ll still be here,
Sitting in my room
I take this time now
To say,
I’m sorry
Sorry for me.
Sorry for you.
I’m sorry I loved you.
There would never be
A better tomorrow,
But you came into my life
And took all my sadness away
My days of loneliness
Have since faded away,
I have found true love at last
Those days are gone for good
I can tell for sure,
Because you fill a void
