My Favorite Pokemon Card



Everything I once loved about you,
Is still there,
And I still love it.

And everything I left you for,
Well, they’re still there too,
And so, I’m still gone.

But we both deserve love,
And I wish it could have been us,
For a whole lot longer.

So, I cry inside
To see you by the side
Of another,
But I’m happy if you’re happy.

So, we’ll part ways,
No goodbye high-fives anymore,
I want to see you live your days,
Not wishing for this mermaid of a mirage on the shore.

Because all I love,
I still can see,
You are still there,
Just not with me.

About this poem

After a long period of resisting these memories, they all came back from a glance at a playing card.

    A love song to a Pokemon card, written with so much emotion. A clever parody of the sappy love poems we so often see. Brings a smile to my face.
