Misunderstood

Yeah we met and it started out great
We didn’t need words – we were in sync
But then something went wrong and it all came apart
That synchronisation started to fade

I thought it would be love at first sight
But I got it all wrong and then started a fight
-	That I never knew how to end
Was I missing something or did I just misunderstand?
Cause every time I turned left, you would go right
I would reach out and you retracted your hand

In reality it all lasted about a second
But to my heart it was like a lifetime of heartache, confusion and disappointment
And worse of all – you never even cared
Or maybe you did? I don’t know
Never seemed like it…

It s another great written poem by you, I guess that it s the continuation of your poem lie to me, or is it on the same person, anyway, it s a really nice one, no relation stand when misunderstandings and soubts startes to crept in it, after then things only get worse, the best thing is to sit and discuss everything before it s too late, welcome to poetrysoup, I m sure that you ll love your stay here, good luck and continue to write

Thanks :) yes it was actually written about 2 different people but same scenario of being lead on to believe in them and then being hurt badly through their actions of losing interest and not caring. I am hoping to learn a lot from the people on this site like you, input and comments always appreciated

Yes thanks, this is why I believe in letting others know how you feel and how important it is to express yourself so that people might try and understand you :)
