Young Love Grown Old
A Shakespearean Sonnet
Where is the love I remember?
It seems to have left me alone.
It grew old, such as leaves in September,
And out of our hearts, it has flown.
It seems to have left me alone.
It grew old, such as leaves in September,
And out of our hearts, it has flown.
Try all I might to restore it,
It has flown far away from my grasp.
I chose, though I knew, to ignore it,
As it slowly slipped out of my clasp.
If you must leave, then go; then run.
It would not be fair to keep you.
We were once two; I am now one
There's no doubt left; our time is through.
I must go on, forgetting the past.
Like love, pain and sorrow will not last.

High school romances can be so painful! Well said!
I added you to my favorite list. Your writing is touching and I enjoy reading poerty that touches the heart. Great work
Well done. I guess you moved on.
Yeah, nothing is permanent - love, joy sorrow. We have to seize our chances and enjoy the moments. The enthusiasm I had for the royal wedding has waned after the Diana days! We have to keep reinventing ourselves and find meanings as we traverse through life. Thanks, Tricia, for the sharing - siva
