You Can'T Make Me Love You

You Can't Make Me Love You




You can't make me love you
Because you love me,
You can't force something to happen
When something isn't meant to be,
The way you feel about me
Is not the way I feel about you,
You see a lover in me,
I only see a friend in you,
Stop trying to win me over
Stop telling me you can't let go,
Stop hoping I will say yes
And start excepting the word no,
What is it going to take
To get through to you,
No matter how much you want to  be with me
I don't want to be with you,
You have to get it through your head
You have to move on,
You will find someone else to love
And it won't be to long,
Give up the chase
Just do what is right,
Stop wasting your time on me
Give up this fight.

Hello Candace, one sided love I have been there many times, it hurts a lot. Two people are not always in love with each other.Two people must be in love with each other. Not the other way round. Anyway I do like this poem.
