Deep Impact Poem by Jon M. Nelson

Why is it so hard for me to let her go?
Because deep down inside, I know we are through.
I've learned from my mistakes, and I'm willing to grow.
But I don't want to move on to find someone new.

Why can't I just get her out of my mind?
I know I must move on and start again.
But someone else like her will be hard to find.
I need to start fresh, but somebody tell me when.

When I close my eyes, why do I see her there?
Such an impact she made, who would have guessed.
If there's someone else for me, someone show me where.
If she's not the one for me, then why am I so obsessed?

Why do thoughts of her still haunt my head?
Deep down inside I know I must move on.
I still remember all the 'I love you's that were said.
But my love for her will never be really gone.

How will I know when I've found the right one?
I need someone else to fill the void in my heart.
After all this, how will I know when it is done?
When will I know it's time to make a new start?
