    The Day We Met

    She sat there, depressed; I saw no sun in her life
    Just for being concerned, saw stress, knew her strife
    Who would have thought I would need her for my wife
    But now she’s hurting me, cutting through my heart like a knife

    At that time, she had stopped living, no reason to go on
    I brought her back from the darkness, bringing a break of dawn
    Sprinkled her garden, got gross to grow on her lawn
    Who knew she would have left me, who knew she would be gone

    So far away, blinded by infatuation, caught up in another world
    The only way she could possibly not love me is if she was another girl
    For I taught her how to love again, to make her love unfurl
    What it feels like to be treasured, she was more precious than pearl

    I can't even hate her, for I think she's just scared
    But looking in from where you are, one would say am weird
    For I showed her what it means to be loved, needed, showed her I cared
    And when I needed a rescue, there was no one, out of my life she disappeared

    If she'd only know, there is no way am going to ever forget her
    Even if she's going to kill me, I won’t yield, for sure am going to let her
    I ask the Lord each and every day; tell me what it is I should do to get her
    For I really love her, and I‘ve been loving her since the very first day I met her

    This is a great poem. My friend I know how you felt because I have been there !!!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
