Because I Love You I Left

Because I love you I left. Because I didn’t know I would love you I couldn’t wait, I couldn’t wait until you will find the truth about me. Because I love you I made you believe that I left you, I left because I don’t love you. Because I wanted you to continue your life with another one, I made believe I wasn’t the one. Because I couldn’t be with you I tried to hate you, Because I couldn’t hate I pretend, Because you couldn’t hate me I left. I left quietly until the day you forget me, Until you forget all what we shared. Because I’m too bad and I couldn’t tell you that, I just left. Because it is too hard for you to know the real me, And it is too hard for me to know that you knew, I left. I left because I feared that I would want to stay with you, When I would see your eyes; That I would like to be with you for the rest of my days, I couldn’t say good-bye. Because I can’t send this letter to you I keep it near to my heart. I read it every day to remember To remember you. To make myself believe That there is good in this world, To make myself believe That I am a human been now beacause I love you.

I am delighted to have such an audience on my first month in this website. I've never ever imagined that such a poem which I have written when I was only 18 years old, could be related to all your souls and fit all your love experience. It is not really me who had that kind of love it was merely someone I knew ,so I just put that person's expeience as if it was mine. And when i first finished the piece , I cried myself. Thank you for recognizing my talent, I had never believed in it myself.

Congratulations Ikram on POTD. It seems a bit strange how we as humans are always looking for love and when we find it, we are afraid of it. Nice write:)

This poem really resonates with me. I do the same thing. I fear that if someone knows the real me, it will ruin everything or if it doesn't I will still hurt them so I leave before it will hurt more. Congrats on poem of the day. Well deserved.

There's someone in my past that my heart keeps going back to. I can just imagine him saying these words. I'm with somebody else now. Somebody who is good to me. They deserve my complete respect and love. They have never given me reason to offer anything less. And yet my heart goes back. I think it always will.
