Our Star by North60

Our Star.

We had reached such high
romantic places.
but pressures
of life meant
we couldn't make it.

I cannot erase you though
from my heart,
nor do I want to
and that's
the hard part.

What reaches the soul stays
there it seems.
our love
will forever
colour my dreams.

While we had time our star
burned so bright
it will take
light years
to vanish outright.

this tugs at the heart.....you are right, it seems one cannot erase love....you can distance yourself from it, you can try to forget it but it will always remain "there"....

Fay, this is a deeply moving, heart felt and beautiful poem that has left me with a tear in my eye. The closing stanza is hauntingly perfect, and I can relate to every word.
