Forever Love
No matter what, you will always be my “forever love”.
My vision for this Valentine’s Day cannot come true
The cabin in the woods, the roses, just me and you
There was wine and strawberries with cream
The kind of things of which you can only dream.
To kiss and to cuddle and make love all night
To show you my love in ways to delight.
My heart is bursting with feelings for you
You are my “once in a lifetime love”, it’s true
Without you loving me I don’t know what to do.
Am I just to be your friend? Please give me a clue
Is there any hope for me to cling to the hope?
Or does that just make me even more of a dope?
So sorry that the words in my blogs hurt you
Honesty is the best policy? Not always true
I just wanted to be the man in your life
And to believe someday you’d be my wife.
Great memories are many, I hope you agree
I want to believe it’s not over for me.
Your mind seems made up. Is there no chance
That you and I can still find romance?
You’ve found another. You think he’s the one
If that’s true, then, yes I agree, I am done.
I know I have wronged you and deserve to lose
But I still believe I’m the right one to choose.
Thoughts of you consume all of my days
I love you so much, in so many ways.
Your beauty excites me beyond belief
You have stolen my heart, you wonderful thief.
No woman has ever meant more to me
You are my reason for living, can’t you see?
For without you I am a broken man
To live all alone, don’t think that I can.
I lay down at night, thinking of you
I wake the next day and the same is true
That you came into my life to love
Is the most wonderful gift from above.
No one will ever love you like I do.
No one will ever completely understand you.
No one will ever bring laughter your way
No one will work harder to make your day
No one will ever help you all that he can
Because no other just wants to be your man.
If you find true love I will become a distant memory
But deep in my heart I hope, if you ever think of me
I hope you remember all the good that we had
And that for a fleeting moment you’re glad.
That you met me and loved me for a little while
That thoughts of you and me make you smile.
“ILYB”, “ILYMB” and so much more
Texting and talking were what I adore.
Making love to you was what heaven’s about
That I could please you, my name to shout
“Wait! Wait” were words of music to my ears
Was I good enough? You calmed all my fears.
Poem - Denise
Fallen Angel
Dark thoughts overwhelm me in every way
So hard to write without tears today
My heart is broken, my soul laid bare
Impossible to go on with no one to care.
You came into my life by pure chance
Was this to be my last shot at romance?
You were my once in a lifetime love
Such a wonderful gift from above.
My life was in ruins until you came along
To fill me with joy and in my heart put a song.
From the moment we met that fateful day
I knew you were special in every way.
We laughed; we texted, we talked every day
We made love in the most incredible way
It was the first time I understood “you complete me”
In every minute of every day I thought you would be.
Now my heart is broken, my soul filled with grief
Looks like this wonderful love will be so brief
Where once every single day you needed me
You have chosen without me you prefer to be.
No longer you need to hear the sound of my voice
Out of your life is now your very sad choice.
Cast aside like last week’s news
I never thought I’d be the one to lose.
You had such passion, such love to give
Your small imperfections I’d easily forgive.
For me you were a beacon of light
Together just felt so incredibly right.
But hoping and wishing that someday you will care
Clinging so desperately to this thought I do not dare
Oh, the hurt and the pain, I am so forlorn
Today I wish I had never been born.
Where once every day you filled my life with joy
Now without you there is nothing to enjoy
My very being has been wrapped up in you
Without you in my life I don’t know what to do.
You made me feel important, loved and wanted so bad
Even with Emily you made me feel like a Dad
It felt like “family”, something so important to me
I believed that some day, together we would be.
There has been so much that I will cherish forever
That I will ever forget you? No never!
The girls. What colour? Has anyone told you today? Oh, so true!
These were all things that I thought were special to you.
I am where I am because I fell so in love with you
Now I am lost and don’t know what to do.
You have made it clear that you are done with me.
That’s a dagger in my heart and it will surely kill me.
We have shared so much and I’ve been there for you
I’ve tried to help with what you needed to do
That made me feel so good and I hoped some day
I’d be with you and Emily to live together every day.
I know now you don’t love me, but I hope you can see
That without you I am struggling as bad as it can be.
Please think about what we’ve had again and again
Try to be patient and understand my incredible pain.
Don’t cast me aside in my hour of need
Please hear my call for help and heed.
To never feel my arms around you again
Brings tears of sadness and incredible pain.
For Sarah to be loved by someone else now
Tears at my heart and I don’t know how
I will ever get over you, I don’t think I can
I wanted so desperately to be your man.
Life without you is what I dread
I am so much better off dead.
Know that you are the most important thing in my life.
My biggest regret is that I can’t make you my wife.
I feel worthless, lonely and filled with doubt
To be in love is what life’s all about
With no one to care whether you live or die
To go on each day, you have no idea why.
I will never regret one minute that we have shared
It was so very amazing that for a while you cared.
I am left a broken man, so horribly sad and upset
But not one minute we shared will I ever regret.
You were my Angel, my love and my reason to be
Please never forget how important you are to me
Without your love I have nowhere to go
Yes, you’ll forget me, but always know
You were my one Babygirl and I will love you for all eternity.
Crystal
Just when I thought it would never happen for me
And I had accepted that alone I always would be
She came into my life like a breath of fresh air
Finally someone for whom I could really care.
It all started when I asked her to dance
But I wondered, “Is this the start of romance?”
She said she wasn’t good enough to dance with me
But right away I knew a great dancer she’d be.
We talked and we danced and we laughed that first night
So comfortable with each other I knew it was right
Our first “date” was to go play pool
“Be cautious” I said, don’t be a fool.
You’ve been hurt before by going too fast
Take it slow with her so this one will last
But her smile, her laugh, and my heart she had won
At long last, I thought, I had found the one
Who stirred feelings in me I’d long given up on
Now only thoughts of her with each new day’s dawn.
Each day brought something new to share
Not hard to believe I started to care
But fate stepped in to get in the way
She’d booked a vacation to take her away.
How ever will I survive this time apart?
I knew it would hurt from the start.
But I hoped we could still share in some way
The fun she was having even so far away.
The worst thing for me was Valentine’s Day
On my most special day she would be away
So I tried to do something special for her
Even though together I would much prefer.
But she wouldn’t tell me where she was staying
That cut like a knife I don’t mind saying
It was the very first sign I needed to know
And it signaled what was the very first blow.
There was no contact from her for all those days
And my mind started to wander in so many ways
Everyone said to just wake up and see
That with another man she really must be.
But hope springs eternal they say
And I kept thinking “no way!”
But with each passing day and not a thing
Her return only heartache would bring.
For I would have to accept the truth so bad
That she just didn’t care made me so sad.
When she returned she just didn’t get
How what she did made me so upset
She tried to explain that it’s really tough
To contact me, but it wasn’t enough.
The truth was she just didn’t care
My pain and concern she didn’t share.
We talked and we agreed to give it a try
To try to get passed this, I’m not sure why
As bad as I felt, I wanted her in my life
We’d get over this and have no more strife.
She’d been warm, affectionate and “conflicted”
To her charms I had become truly addicted.
Making love? She wanted to wait
We even, in jest, set a date.
Her kisses just made me go out of my mind
A girl who made me this crazy I didn’t think I’d find.
It’s been a long time since I felt fifteen years old
It’s different when you’re older I’ve been told.
But all I could think of was being with her
Every fiber of my body she did stir.
Her touch, her kisses, her body – all too much
It was downright impossible not to touch.
The kisses they stopped and the passion waned
“What am I doing wrong?” I complained.
“We have to be friends first,” was the excuse
But anyone with feelings knows this is a ruse.
If you feel the attraction you just act
Your body doesn’t lie, it’s a fact
If you can suppress what you’re feeling
Then no passion is with what you’re dealing.
I have no idea of how to act with her now
Just be her friend? I don’t even know how.
Thoughts of her even when in my sleep
How do I suppress the love down deep?
.
It’s hard to accept how cold she can be
What is that stops her from caring for me?
She says she likes affection, loves “PDA”
But she barely responds, only pushes me away.
Pull back and wait for her to come to me?
Only disappointed and hurt will I be
Friends? Lovers? I haven’t a clue
And I have no idea what to do.
I made the mistake of falling in love, no shame
Hoping some day she would feel the same
But she has clearly shown she doesn’t want me
Never more than a friend will I ever be.
She says she’s not “100% available for a date”
That’s a clear indication of how I don’t rate
My heart is hurting, never felt this bad
Losing her makes me feel so sad.
She tires of hearing how much I care
So continuing to love her I don’t dare
It’s hard for me to accept right now
But to go on like this I don’t know how.
Our friendship I treasure and hope it won’t end.
But in this little poem, the message I send.
Is that for you, my love, I will always care
More than you will ever know or share.
Please be patient with me and do not dismiss me
You said you want honesty and this you will see
Is better than living a lie I can no longer ignore
To have told you I love you I could not regret more.
To feel you don’t want me by your side
Brings tears and pain I wish I could hide
But you have gotten right under my skin
I so dearly wish your heart I could win.
That it’s not meant to be I can now clearly see
But please, as a friend, don’t be cruel to me
You are so very special to have in my life
Even though I know now you’ll not be my wife.
I just need some time to accept how it is for you
And to try to do what seems impossible to do
To stop loving you and wanting you so bad
When all I can feel is rejected and sad.
Please, please, please don’t react mean to me
Accept how important you always will be
I want to go on as the best of friends forever
To dance and do all the great things together
At least ‘til you find the man that for you
Makes you feel just the way that for you I do.
Love, always.
Your friend forever,
Gary
The Rose
The Rose
My heart aches, my knees are weak
Losing this sorrow is all that I seek
Dreams of the future now only regrets
Alone without you is as bad as it gets.
My dreams for love only needed a name
So I gave them yours, but now such a shame
You’re gone from my life as fast as you came
That it’s just not to be is such as shame.
Your life will unfold as it’s meant to be
Too bad there’ll never be a “you and me”
It could have been what love’s all about
That you are the “one” I have no doubt.
I long for you to have given us a chance
To see if there could be true romance.
Sadness is now the theme of my prose
But don’t let it be said:
“I never sent you a rose”.
