When we two parted

I would like to share one of my favoutie poems with you. It's by one of the masters of Romantic potery. Not only did he write about love but in the true essence of Romantic poetry he wrote about all emotions. This poem is about love but also the pain of love. What is unique about Byron is he wrote about actual events in his life and people around him. This poem was written about people he knew who had to end an affair. Byron put himself in the man's position and wrote about how he would feel in that situation. Byron was an amazing writer who i have great admiration for, read this see what you think:

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?
With silence and tears.

-Lord Byron
