I'm afraid of what's to come,
Of what will happen,
When we go our separate ways,
Will it be my fault?
Or will fate decide,
That we're just not right for each other,
I'm afraid to see you go,
To watch you leave,
And never come back,
Will you miss me?
Or will you find someone better,
And forget about me entirely,
I'm afraid that this will be over,
That we'll pretend it never happened,
Will you regret us breaking apart?
Or will you erase me from your memory completely,
And move on with your head held high,
I'm afraid of losing you,
I'm afraid of the end.

This poem is about finding that one person that you know in heart you're destined to be with, but realizing that the future of the relationship doesn't look too promising.

I can connect with this poem very much so and I think that the themes are little different from "Stop the Time". I like the almostpleading nature I get form this poem. I myself have felt this many times over and I enjoy the fact that you have put words the feelings I cannot express.

Wow, thanks for the advice :) I've been trying to work on that this summer. The poem I have pending right now is the most well written one I have. But anyway, thanks, I really appreciate it :)

I loved how you portrayed her emotions throughout the poem! It was very clear and well written. All I would suggest, is to use your senses. 'The hot tears I knew would follow', is an example of touch. Or, 'the soft sweet smell of the rose would soon blow away with the wind, just as he will in time'. Great job, Sam! Keep it up!
