Goodbye Love Poem

Poem Remembering A Lost Love

I wrote this poem a few months back after my partner and I split up...the bench was where we got engaged.

The experience in this poem is exactly the experience I had two weeks ago.

The Bench

Published by Family Friend Poems January 2016 with permission of the Author.

Sitting alone
On a bench that's made for two,
Only one side is empty,
For that place is meant for you.
As I look out
Onto the beautiful seashore,
Memories overtake me
And wishes of making more.
Do you remember this special place?
And the moments we had here?
You made my life that day,
And that I will always hold near.
I find myself walking,
Not knowing where to go,
But I always end up
In that special place that we know.
I sit down, can't move,
Waiting for you to show,
And when I feel your hand on mine,
That's when I will go.
Do you see, my darling,
That this bench was made for two,
And one day in the future,
It will be filled again by me and you.
