Thinking About My Old Girl

My Father always told me that you
will never know a good thing until
it’s gone I never felt what he
meant until this moment
now she’s long gone and
I’m trying to get her back.

    I have always thought about that saying “you will never know a good thing until it’s gone” because it makes me think I have never known what love is and that’s hard to think about when you are in a current relationship. Then it’s hard to get them back once you figure out how you truly feel!

    Great poem! Really got me thinking! Good luck in getting her back!
