Until We Meet Again

Until we meet again, I won’t understand how this went wrong.
Until we meet again, I’ll question, and I’ll wonder.
Until we meet again, I’ll sulk in my pity.
Until we meet again, I know I can’t move on.

I believed I could manage, but I miss you so badly.
If given another chance, I’ll hold you so close.
This time there’s no way I would let you go.
I knew not what I had until it was no longer there.

I wait for a knock on the door; I wait for the phone to ring.
I wait to see that smile on your face.
I long for you to slide into my arms.
I long to feel your lips against mine.

Until we meet again, I’ll weep in my misery.
Until we meet again, I’ll feel such sorrow.
Until we meet again, I’ll picture you with another.
Until we meet again, I’ll be all alone.

I’m not as tough enough as I let myself believe.
I walk through life with a purposeless known.
I can’t forgive myself for letting you exit my life.
I crumble with the thought of never seeing you again.

Until we meet again, my heart will continue to ache.
Until we meet again, I’ll feel such pain.
Until we meet again, this soul will feel a void.
Until we meet again, I’ll continue to feel punished.

Some days never seem to pass.
Some nights empty my eyes dry.
Memories of love so far in the past.
Yet they enter my mind uninvited...and often fail to leave.

Many months have passed, and still, I wait.
Am I relying on false hope?
Will we ever meet again?
Did I lose my one true love?

Until we meet again, will our paths ever cross?
Until we meet again, how long must I wait?
Until we meet again, will this suffering ever stop?
Until we meet again, will I learn to accept this loss?

If given another chance, I’ll swarm you with my love.
You will never doubt my feelings towards you.
I’ll hold you in my arms as you drift into sleep.
I’ll be there for your always when you need me to most.

I promise.

Hoping, naively perhaps, for the chance to right a wrong? Or at least wishing for the chance to have one final conversation.

There are two sequels to this poem. The first is This Chance Circumstance and A Time Far Gone.
