The Ways That I Love You (Not a happy poem)

Poem

It has been a while, but I still love you

And part of you will be on my mind until the end of time

That is just how They made me

Sad, sentimental, and a little clingy

​

I loved you the way the waves loved the shore

Restless, and with no hesitation

And I loved you the way the Earth loved the Sun

23 hours and 56 minutes a day

365.24 days a year, never missing a beat

​

Since you made it clear that you do not love me

I have to move on, though I know I cannot because

Part of you will be on my mind until the end of time

That is just how They made me

Sad, sentimental, and a little clingy

​

I want to change the way I love you

I want to love you the way fire loves everything

It burns and burns, but dies without proper kindling

And I want to love you the way Comet Halley loves the Earth

Year 2062, when Earth sees Halley again, is when I hope to see you again
