We Aren't Meant For Each Other

I'll write a million poems

To the lovers

Who weren't meant for each other

I'll take their stories

Decorate them with my metaphors

I'll add laughs and tears

And a happy ending.

My poems depict them holding hands

In their late 80's,

With champagne and sunsets

Talking about all the cheesy things They did in their early 20's.

My poems portray their life

With passion and profession

And describe those songs

Sung by this excited father

To his child in utero.

My poems picturize the soft cuddles after their candle light dinners

And how they spent their nights 

By whispering poems in each other's ears.

My poems delineate 

Their transition 

From two goofy teens to 

A mature middle age couple

My poems pronounce 

Their late night walks

And the comfortable silence

That filled up the trifling space 

That struggled inbetween them.

Because, I am an old soul poet

Who was taught to believe 

In fantasies and forevers 

Than good byes and the reality.

And again...

I'll write a million poems

To the lovers

Who weren't meant for each other

I'll take their stories

Decorate them with my metaphors

I'll add laughs and tears

And a happy ending.
