As Much As I Loved You
~~~
When we ended, I thought
I would never love another
As much as I loved you
~~~
What I felt in your arms
Shined like the only beacon
In a day now turned night
~~~
Where what was held sway
Over what could be next
And tears made it hard to see
~~~
How could my greatest love
Now be my greatest pain
When hope walked away
~~~
I resigned myself to be alone
Knowing my heart could not feel
The same for anyone else
~~~
And I was right in a way
For when love chanced again
My theory proven true
~~~
I could not love her
As much as I loved you
I learned to love her more
~~~
bam! what an ending
Thanks Beth!
A great way to end a lovely poem. Beautiful work my friend!
All the best,
FBC.
Thanks brother!
Youβre very welcome my brother!
Wow! So good Brad, it unfolds perfectly
Thank you! You are too kind!
A surprising ending that came with a glimmer of hope! Beautifully written!
Thanks sis! It only takes a glimmer.
Beth, I loved the last line. I was getting nervous where it was headed!

Sometimes I can’t help but think you are talking about a woman you did love once and now you have me wondering with that great ending, love it. Great stuff my friend. Love Jonikens xoxoxo
I am always talking about a woman I loved once. I just don’t always remember which one….π
Haha I bet that is true too. You could swoon any woman with your romantic words and being nice looking doesnβt hurt either. So funny my friend. It is a big ocean out there. Love and hugs my friend. Oh and your great sense of humor. β€οΈπ€ Jonikins
No wonder we keep getting back up on that horse, bike, insert your own metaphor here.
Thanks Pete! It may well explain it.
Great poem until the last three lines made it better.
