Losing you

Sometimes there was pain,

Sometimes we were insane

And I lost myself in the grip of time,

And you plunged deep into all that is mine.

I wasn't always my best self,

And I've learnt a lot of lessons;

But you say you don't love me anymore

And I can't fathom what is in store.

I loved your heart truly

And the touch of your skin duly,

Your fragrance still lingers 

And your conversations so ginger.

I haven't always been my best self of course

With many mistakes made, and I'm so morose

Because there isn't another meeting

Or anymore sweet greetings.

And I would do anything for one more kiss,

One more joke, one more story, all this I miss;

I can assure you, you will never be forgotten,

And I apologise for all my digresses.

I have no complaints even though I did that a lot,

And I just wish my brain had cooperated or not,

But it slipped and I lost you,

Sweetest you, the epitome of cuteness.
