She was his anchor, keeping him sane, and he was her glue, keeping her together. They were never apart if they could help it. It was only supposed to be a small business trip...But then the airports closed down to ease the spread of the virus, so the two lovers were apart. Little did she know it would be forever...

Girl’s Perspective
You’re so far away
I wish you were with me
Please come and stay
I need you, can’t you see?
My heart is aching
My mind is racing
Are you okay?
When will you say?
My emotions are large
My tears drop quietly
You are my charge
My energy
If you don’t answer, I’ll come
Mask and all
I’m stronger than some
But I’ll race at your call
Please tell me
Please don’t go
You’re across the sea
And I miss your glow
I want to hold you
To gain comfort, and to give
You are my glue
Without you, I can’t live
Is it the same for you,
Or are you alright?
I haven’t a clue
Because you aren’t in my sight
I’ve almost lost hope,
But I’m trying to hold on
In truth, you were my rope,
But now you are gone
You went like the wind
And left me here alone
Maybe I was blind
Maybe I should’ve known
Did you mean to leave me
Right when you could
Did you take your chance to flee
The moment it seemed like you should
I was naive back then
I still am today
Because I jump when
I hear something you say
There are problems in the world
We should be solving them together
Instead, my heart is furled
Because you severed our tether
Now I am alone
What about you?
Have you simply grown
Learned to tie your own shoe?
Yes, I remember
I did it for you
It was my pleasure
And of those, I have few
Especially now
Now that you left
Are you sick in bed
Or are you healthy?
Are you well-fed
And eating plenty?
The reason you don’t answer me
And leave me in the dark
The reason you don’t hear my plea
To remember our spark
Is it because you’re hurt
Or do you ignore
This is something I blurt
To you, my heart I pour
If you would just let me know
If you could just send me a text
If you would just let me see your glow
Then I’d give it a rest
Instead, you leave me to guess
Terrible things
You put me in distress
And are pulling my strings
The strings of my heart
Now they are frayed
The longer we are apart
The more I feel betrayed
Sweet words you used to say
Your hands were delicate and soft
Then you were on your way
But at what cost
Not just the money-
But the ache of my heart
My stomach feels funny
Like I forgot my part
Is it all because of me
Did I do something wrong
Is it no longer we?
Does your heart sing a different song?
Mine does not
It calls for you
You’ve got it all in a knot
You’ve got it asking who
Who to believe
Who to turn to
Do you deceive?
I need another clue
How much longer can I wait
How much longer can I bear it
I just need to think straight
I must use all my wit
I’m feeling so much pain
Pain you brought upon me
Maybe I should let go
Even if it breaks my heart
Maybe I should let go
And begin with a new start

Guy’s Perspective
My love, my dear,
My darling,
I fear
That I might be falling
It’s hard to feel
When I gave you my heart
To think this is real
I want a restart
I cough, and I sneeze
But the biggest pain I feel
Is this small squeeze
One that cannot heal
If only you were with me
If only I could see you
If only it could be
That I didn’t have to leave you
They say there’s no such thing,
As a happily ever after
But together we could bring
Over the pain some laughter
Instead, I lie alone
Breathing some of my last breaths
I’m on my own
Lying on the bed of death’s
Yes, I am hurt
But I worry more about you
Once I’m under the dirt
What will you do?
Are you going to move on?
Are you going to stay strong?
I’m almost gone
It shouldn’t be long
Though I do wish
That I could’ve told you
Though I do wish
I could’ve given you a clue
I feel very blessed
For everything I had
I had the best
For that I am glad
My only complaint
The thing I really want to have
If I had no restraint
I’d want you, my other half
I don’t know which is worse
Not seeing you again
Because that’s like a curse
Or you being in pain
I hope someone tells you
What happens to me
I hope someone tells you
And you’ll come to see
Though I’ll be underground
I want you beside me
Though I won’t hear a sound
I need you beside me
We’ll be together forever
That’s what we said
What’s happening, however
Fills me with dread
I couldn’t say goodbye
One last time, and
I hope you don’t cry
But you’ll certainly be stunned
There was nothing we could do
Don’t blame anyone
What we’re going through
Is happening to everyone
Will you remember me
Or will you forget
I want you to be free
And live without regret
I’m sorry, truly
I didn’t mean for it to end this way
Sometimes the world does things cruelly
Don’t let it shade you in black and grey
Keep your cheer
And keep your smile
Wipe away your tear
I’m not worth your while
I feel my consciousness slipping
So I guess it’s time to say goodbye
My heart is nearly ripping
It’s too late to ask why
I love you is all
I really have to say
It might seem small,
But I hope it goes a long way

This is stunning - so creative, so tragic, so subtle, so timely....and such amazing poetry as everyone else has said. How many stories between real people must be transpiring like what you've written? I think this is the most poignant love story I've ever read. I want to keep praising it, but I don't know what else to say! Thank you for writing this.

Oh, wow, Kristen, thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You've truly made my day. It's comments like yours that convince me to keep writing!

Here as requested! I absolutely loved this story! Personally, I feel like poetry has lots of emotions flowing through its lines, and you’ve managed to capture these emotions really well! Poetry is not easy to write, let alone rhyming and portraying emotions between two characters. Beautifully written story!

This story was amazing, Amany! I could clearly feel the character's pain through your writing. It was upsetting that the girl thought the guy moved on from her, and tragic that the guy was not able to explain and say goodbye completely. Outstanding job!

This is definitely my style of poetry. The rhyme was very understandable and kept a great rhythm. Sometimes poems can be very difficult to understand, and i find that sometimes the simpler styled like this one here, are just as beautiful. Great job.
