To Him

Love, it's a funny, fickle thing But is this love or lust I feel? I know they're not the same And still they feel very real. Lust is when you think you love Maybe called infatuation But love makes your heart ache How did I get in this situation? We've known each other for a long time But not that long in fact Seems like years to me How am I to act? I think I love you But some days, I don't know You say you love me back But tell me, is it so? If you don't love me Please don't say you do I don't want to hear a lie Tell me only when it's true! You've told me things about yourself Some things I don't wish to know But when you tell me nothing I regret "Don't tell me, no!" I told you everything Every secret that I had But again you say nothing Do you wish to make me sad? When you say nothing Your trust I feel I have not When I tell you everything My trust you've surely got You feel further away Than the distance that parts me from you Without your help to close that distance Tell me what can I do? We don't talk like we used to Once or twice a week has become the norm Accustomed to everyday Has our friendship taken on a new form? I want to think I love you But can I believe my mind? My hearts feels like it's breaking To me, love has been unkind. Where have these feelings come from? How did they work into my heart? Do I truly love you? Or is it time we part?

A very beautiful poem....sometimes we keep the ones we love most at a distance, because we are afraid to lose them if we pull them closer...a sort of unspoken fear. Pain has a way...but love that is true is so deep that nothing will remove its hold. Love, Sara

In this instant gratification society we live in, something has been lost ... TIME ... it takes time to build a relationship and often when we "tell all" too soon it takes away the mystery. Doesn't mean we're keeping secrets its just the longer the grape is on the vine, the better the vino. Smile ... sorry I got so wordy here. Its a great write and congratulations on the feature!!

Tiffany this is perhaps the hardest question of all time - when you love someone you are willing to sacrifice your happiness for theirs and if they love you back they won't allow it - although sex is a part of love it truly has nothing to do with the equation for you can enjoy sex with just about anyone - I hope that you're able to find someone to love in your life as I have found my wife - Congrats on the feature and God Bless
