I wrote this poem 7 or 8 years ago. But no title came up to my mind and I don't dare to post it online yet. It's arduous feelings to reminisce about the past, it is really a walk to remember, And after this... I'm gonna close this book not because I want to close it permanently but because I will try to start writing a new chapter that will help me to go on with my life.


A true story...
Is definitely

A WALK TO REMEMBER

I was twenty
And you were twenty-six

You're a soldier
And I am graduating student

You fight for the country
While I'm searching for extraordinary.

You courted me for a year
And I say yes when you are twenty-seven.

You asked me out for dinner,
I never thought it was a civil wedding.

It is a big surprise to bind us together.
Only your best friend is a witness to our wedding.

At last, we are together.
And you serve me like a queen.

I write poetry and you're my muse.
You're gorgeous with your combat and rifle.

Many years past

I work abroad for the future
Praying that I can fulfil our ambitions

I leave you and our three kids
In my mind, I will work hard for two or three years.

Time flies, like a wind passing by

It's our tenth wedding anniversary,
I'm walking down the aisle wearing my white gown.

My knees are shaking, my tears are falling.
As I look at the altar and you were there waiting.

My vision went dark and I lost consciousness.

It was supposed to be our church wedding,
But it turned out to be your requiem mass.

" A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Spark After watching the movie, I got the idea to post my poem after many years and I'm hoping that he will not sue me for using his title. And I'm also wishing to have his book A WALK TO REMEMBER.
