Not Love

Your love is sweet, kind and caring your love is sharing fun and daring Your love is not like sand or dirt but it can really truly hurt You knocked on my door and I let you in how did it start, well let me begin I stand there staring at the back of your head wondering who this person could be Hoping you'll notice, that I noticed you hoping I'll notice , you noticed me too I turn around slowly to walk away only to hear you whisper, hey hey I respond with shyness, silliness and fear to question if your motives and actions were clear are you talking to me I ask, and put on my mask You asked me my name as I asked you yours my body is tense with cut open pores I waited and waited , till you came along tell me it's right or tell me it's wrong 4 weeks I saw you, 4 days I called you 4 nights I had you, come again I'm glad to I care about you deeply, why won't you believe me I see you like a turledove I like you boy, but like not love I'm sorry you're hurt, truly I am you are my mister and I am your mam I really want you, truly I do can't make this decision not old enough to Maybe someday, in time I'll love you but baby right now, it's really to soon Remember me boy, for I am still here I really do care to the all those above, and no it's Not Love..

It is always better to be sure than to rush in! Excellent poem! It is not an easy thing to do to let someone down when you care about their feelings. Very well said. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Love, Robin

Love is a pure thing, but if you aren't ready you aren't ready, and if he really loves you, then he should be willing to wait. Great poem. ~Jen~
