Such tenderness in your touch
As a dove can have
Sheltering under her warm wings
Tenderness came to you with time
Love is all everyone needs
Feeling less all alone
Tenderness in the melancholy
Knowing once you cared
We built memories together
Tenderness in those moments
Do you recall the intimacy?
Or it has become all a past?
Tenderness in the passionate warmth
When we entwined
Those feelings don’t wash away
Tenderness in those memories
Which I will preserve
As proof that you did once care.
This poem is both sweet and sad. That last line is a gut punch.
Thanks you
