Leftover Love dots

-------------------------------------------

Lately I’m living on leftover love
Which I’d hoarded with plans to keep it forever,
But I’m greedily draining my sweet supply
Of remembered kisses and caresses,
Of memories of magical moments
Which fade with each daydream
Like a letter unfolded too often,
And each time it’s re-read
A bit of the love it holds is used up
Until there is nothing left but words.
So when you return don’t be alarmed
If I don’t recognize your touch.
I’ll just need some time
To refill my heart with your love
And make you part of me again.

  pretty
and sad
it makes me think
of my friend
whos love has just left for the military
6 years in fact
and she cant marry him for another year and a half
but only if hes still in the states
she cant live with him unless they are married if he goes overseas
and this makes me think of that
how sad
and wistfull
i hope it all works out
save each letter like each letter is worth a day
and each one saved is a day with him

xoxo

  ouch, this one is quite painful im sure. distance from someone makes a lot of things a helluva lot more difficult to do. like getting up in the morning for example. or writing. or pretty much everything. there's always that one that somehow gets away and yeah, it always stings.

but buck up, it gets better... at least i hope it gets better. we're all in the same boat here anyway.

"Like a letter unfolded too often,

love that part. there's something old school about an actual letter. all i got are a bunch of painful emails. lol.

hope everything is alright.

peace.

  Good concept, I like the idea of leftover love, sitting in a plastic container saving it for later use. When I read your description, I honestly was slightly dreading the reading of this poem, expecting somewhat of a cliché, but I've been happily surprised. I wish it was longer, but thats just personal taste, and the length doesn't take away from the power of the poem at all. Slowly, yet surely, the intimacy and closeness is drained away until you just have the knowledge that you should loved that person, but you just need to remember why, is that it? An excellent poem, thank you for sharing it.
