Ah, a fellow writer! I didn't know you write poems until now. How could I have missed your poems? They are not often posted on mylot though. What is this writing site that accepts poems? Is it fictionpress? Thank you so much, jaiho!

Aww this a very cute poem! I like the simplicity yet realistic of the poem. I agree what you wrote in here and very true. Forgiveness, acceptance and moving on are the main keys. Not trying to be perfect but be a better person.. Hope you write more poems and share it here. Happy 2013;-) P.S I love the note haha

Thank you kyle!

Hmm, it's strange that I don't like poems that much but managed to come up with one out of the blue. I notice there are many heart broken people out there some of them still have not moved on, so this I want to share. It's a painful experience in which everyone can learn from and become stronger and better persons because of it.

That's right aja! Glad that you're sharing these thoughts to help others to move on. This is a good idea to express feelings too.

Hai! It also explains why I am more involved in the relationship section of mylot. I like helping out people with their relationship issus. Most of them I have already experienced first hand so I am confident about the advice I give to people.

Hi! A fairly good attempt I would like to say. If you keep writing short poems like this, you could be an accomplished poet. Our best wishes are with you.

Writing poems will enhance your self confidence and you could in your heart of hearts count yourself as a poet.

Thank you deepak! Though being an accomplished poet and writer is not really in my plans for the future, I think it would make a pretty good hobby.

I like the poem and the conclusion - it is said that you cannot love anyone until you learn to love yourself. I would add one more piece of advice to those recovering from a broken heart - do not keep re-living the relationship or the parting. When you start thinking back discipline yourself to think of something else. This is hard at first but it gets easier with practice and time. Soon you will realise that you are on the way to forgetting that anyone broke your heart.

Thank you for the additions combedale! It is true, how can we learn to love someone else if we don't love ourselves first? I see some people forget themselves and give all their love to one person while they should have loved themselves as well. In romance movies, I think they show people unconditional love and passionate love. These are noble kinds of love but not entirely practical.

Yes it does, it needs time to heal like any other wound. But heartbreak heels faster, with time and love. Good luck to you there. You will find someone to love you, and all will be great....

Thank you ladygagama, the last two lines were the most important. It is intended to add the impact to those people who might have forgotten to love themselves. Loving ourselves is best, it's the kind that won't disappoint and we need most. When there's no one else to love us, we begin to become stronger by giving ourselves that love. However, having too much of it and forgetting to love others is already 'NARCISSISM' Thank you maria! No problemo! I have already found my love and we have been together for 5 years. He really helped me learn to love again and move on, become a better person! I want others to experience this kind of love too.

It will heal but heart breaks leave scars. Those scars are reminders for us, they remind us that we are stronger than before.

Yes you are absolutely right. It takes more time to heal when the love you lost is true and real. May be it will never heal. It's really hard to forget someone who was everything in your life. As far as I am concerned I will never try to heal the wound as it gives me a chance to remember her even though it pains a lot.

I have a friend who is still not over her ex. She was taken for granted by the guy and she was so hurt. I wanted her to get the message of this poem too, because she needs to realize that by denying her pain and by trying to forget, she's thinking about him more than necessary. It takes time to heal. She said that she will be single for awhile. I think that is best for her at the moment. She needs to regain most of her self esteem back. She's pretty and wonderful but she doesn't seem to realize this. Some people can't completely move on. I don't think it is bad as long as it doesn't affect their lives in a negative way.

It takes time to heal a broken heart. And I think that we are entitled to mourn over a broken relationship and then we must learn to let go and face a new life.

hai! It's natural to mourn about it afterwards, just don't linger on the negative feelings for so long. We have to be strong and able to face life head on if we want to live better and move on from a heart break.

hi, i will agree with you,we can not force our self to forget the pain we experience in the past,instead we need to heal it accordingly,we should never use any person just to cover that pain,we should also learn from the past so that in the future we are ready to face it.

There is no deny that you are a good writer. The poem is so brave and lovely. Time tells, it is true. A breakup can ruin our life temporarily, but we can learn a lot from it. Just be brave and embrace all the things. Time will tell.
