It’s Always You

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

I wonder why when I dream, it's always of you

You were the one. The one I said forever to

Years have passed without your smile

I'm resigned to navigate the days and nights in solitude

My heart aches anew each time it realizes that you're gone

I tend to romanticize the past leaving out those rough times, on purpose

The good times were good enough to live on in my memory

Decades later when I dream it's always of you 

It's good to know that you really are the forever one

The one I'll always dream of

  7. This is such a beautiful and heartfelt poem, Penny. I’m sorry that you lost someone you loved in this way. It must have been very hard. (Forgive me if I’m assuming this is true life rather than fiction. I’m not always sure. If it’s fiction, you’ve done a wonderful job of putting your heart into it.)

    I love the last two lines
    ‘It’s good to know that you really are the forever one
    The one I’ll always dream of.’

    Xx 💓
