Tomorrow Night
March 15, 2013
Let’s pretend tomorrow night never happened.
That never you took my hand and wouldn’t let go.
And led me to that place where we met long ago.
That we didn’t look into each other’s eyes,
And see something more than retinas—we saw each other’s souls.
Let’s pretend that tomorrow night never happened.
That we didn’t lie under the cool sheets,
Reveling in our body’s heat,
That we didn’t whisper above the noise of traffic,
That your hand didn’t sail through my hair like it was an ocean.
Let’s pretend that tomorrow night never happened.
Because today is still burning fiercely in the sky,
And if I think that it’s all over, I might cry.
Even though it hasn’t happened yet,
I want to be in love forever.

Sometimes i think that I write great poetry. Then, I read stuff like this and feel as though I'm not half as good. This is lovely. You're very talented. What's you secret? lol. I love reading your poetry. It makes me want to better myself. Congrats on so many Editors' Choices! They're so hard to get especially for poetry.
wow thts realllyyy good! The emotion is really strong and everything flows together perfectly well. The only thing i was confused about was the repetitive line, "Let's pretend tommorow night never happened." But if its tommorow night, it never happened in the first place. You probably did this on purpose for a reason my blonde mind is not comprehending (lol) but other than that, I really, really, love the poem!!! :D
