    Okay, a first post- something traditional. Hope someone likes it!

    I love you for so many things
    So many moments, so many times
    I love you for every thought that brings
    The memory that you are mine.
    I love you though the future fools,
    Our lives but to trickle out this age
    And every moment brings a date
    That never brings the sight of you.
    I love you then for present times
    When we can say we love and we do-
    I'll love you forever though we find
    Ours was never such a love to choose.

    I really got into the efficient flow... I always like when words have an intent beyond their definition, if you know what I mean :)

    Excellent use of language; thanks for sharing this!

    Did you mean -traditional- as in boring...because that just kind of put me to sleep. No offense!

    This was, in essence, the strongest line for me; both in abiding and in depth.
    Thanks for sharing.

    It's something I wrote a couple of years ago for a very special girl. Corny? You bet! Sappy? Hopefully! But I wanted to experiment with all forms.... and so I did. Hey, I've even written a bunch of sonnets. Gawd, you'd hate them!

    Really enjoyed this poem and the other as well. I'm actually very fond of sonnets. Amazing how some people can consistently write in that meter.

    I loved the whole poem, I thought it was great.

    My favorite line is "When we can say we love and we do-" When I read that I was thinking "aaww" Loved it! Thanks for sharing it.

    Every moment contains within it the kernel of something unforgettable. Sometimes, something small is allowed to stay. "Let this moment live" and why not. All around us are marshalled the legions of decay.... Hey, I liked your effort!

    When I was 15, I was a student counsellor at a summer camp. Met some wonderful people and one special girl from BC. I haven't seen her since but I still think about her. That's it. It's one of a small group I wrote for her. Glad you like it!

    Thanks, Blackguard! You've resurrected this one. I'll always love this girl but the days, the days move on. And we are, even amongst our best friends and in our happiest hours, essentially alone.
