Nina Finney Poet I do not know?

Love Letter

Love looks over imperfections.
It doesn't create more.
You're the greatest person I've ever met.
But you're stuck on her.
She broke your heart, I know.
Torn it out with her bare hands,
and threw it on the floor.
And yet you hold on.
I tell you how I feel.
You tell me to go.
Saddened but obediently,
I do.
Everyday I wake up.
Hoping today will be the day
you say you're coming to me.
I ache to talk to you.
It takes everything I have
to be patient.
To be obedient.
I know you deserve better.
But you love her.
The cruelest dream comes true.
Reality.


But know this.
I will forever wait.
I will forever watch for you.
And I will continue to hope for a change.
I will be obedient.
I will obey your wishes.


But know this.
Not loving you is harder than you know.

Adeleke Adeite June 9, 2009 at 7:16 AM Well, I think you need to free your mind. Well I think love is cruel it makes one love those who do not care, it makes you help those who hurt you, it makes you… I feel for you, my heart goes out to you, because I know what you are going through. Yet, you need to free your mind, find true love in… I pray he will come. But why don’ t you assume he has given you an opportunity to find true love in someone else

Diane Christian June 9, 2009 at 1:48 AM aww a great powerful message to the one you love, he is probably still on the rebound, if he can not get over her it could be cruel to be with you too soon as you would know she is on his mind but in time when he relizes he has no chance with her he will wake up and come maybe give a chance on love, he will be grateful you respect his wishes at this time but maybe he is thinking of your feelings too as if on the rebound a relationship usualy falls down quickly, God bless you from diane
